While Lily had let herself be chased off on Monday, mostly because she didn't feel like confronting him while she was feeling so very wounded at the idea he'd stand her up -- even if she did suspect that's how it was going to go -- she'd thought about the situation and decided she simply wasn't going to let that stand.It wasn't polite, really, to make plans and then break them without any word of explanation. He knew where she lived, after all; it wouldn't have been so hard to drop a note there for her. But to the best of her knowledge, he hadn't. He'd simply not been there, and she'd received no explanation from him. So she'd left, she'd let it be, she'd entertained herself instead. But when she woke up Wednesday morning, she decided that no, she needed to hear from him the reasons. If he didn't want to escort her about, that was fine, but it was just rude to make that sort of decision and not inform the other person. Lily was still having some trouble adjusting to the styles of the time, but she had bought a few outfits she found comfortable and not so completely weird that she couldn't survive in them. It made her wonder in a sort of abstract way if she'd still be here when the attire she'd shown up in eased into style, though she shied away from that thought. She'd be thirty-two in fourteen years, and she had no idea where she'd be at that point. Perhaps married. Perhaps a mother. Perhaps married to James and the mother to his children, but ... likely to someone else. It was depressing to think about, and she shook her head to try to chase the thoughts away. After she'd dressed and done something suitable with her hair (she opted to leave it down, but she put a bit of a curl in it), she double-checked herself in the mirror before sliding her wand into her clothing and starting out for the day. She had a few places to check on applications, and a couple more to apply to, so it was nearly lunch time before she started back toward the welcome center -- though that wasn't her destination. She instead stopped in at the Sterling-Cooper offices and made it clear to his secretary she wasn't going to take no, or 'he's not in' for an answer. He'd be in eventually, and if the secretary wasn't going to go fetch him for her, then she'd wait. He'd have to pass through the door sooner or later, and she'd be there if he didn't come out to see her first. |
