Lily felt the best that she had in a while, despite the news she had recently gotten about James saying things about her to Frank and goodness knows who else behind her back. It seemed like just the thing she needed to get James out of her mind, at least in the aspect he had been in lately. When she thought of him now, she didn't feel the stomach turning over and a smile didn't cross her face.
She liked to think of herself as quite sensible. The mere fact that she cried when James told her was seeing Charity, well... there was nothing insensible about that. He just couldn't understand where she was coming from emotionally. She suspected he didn't want to anymore. But now it was too late. Friendship required trust, and the minute a 'friend' decided to talk about her, that was the end of the trusting.
Humming happily to herself, she stopped at one of the trees at the edge of the water and leaned against it. The Squid was calm tonight and the air was cool but comfortable. She smiled, enjoying her new sense of peace.
