New Directions

Lillian had to admit that she wasn't in her best of moods. Mom had been in the rehab facility a little over a week, and while she was recovering physically, her mind was taking a little longer to recover.

As a result, her Dad was being overbearing and incredibly nit-picky, and seemed to be doing everything in his power to shove her away. Lillian didn't understand it, but when he'd suggested that she stay with the Parsons for a while, she'd decided that it was quite a good idea to get out of his hair for a while.

Thus, she was sort of in a down mood, and without much energy, which was really unlike her...but she was very happy that Ethan was going to get her out of the house for a little while. If nothing else, she needed some serious cuddle time.

Blake hadn't been doing much. Just sitting at home and trying to plan out everything that was going to happen when his friends came from New York. In fact, he'd been skyping with Aiden when he'd invited Eliza over. Aiden would understand his abrupt disappearance -- after all, Eliza was involved!

And it was very abrupt. He heard the knock on the door and barely took the time to close out of his computer before dashing down the stairs. "My Eliza!" he said cheerfully as he opened the door.
