Lillian's hand paused on Steven's foot and her smile grew, "You taught him how to dance?" She looked up and met Maryanne's eyes, "I guess I should thank you then" Her blush deepens just a tad and her eyes looked over at her comatose love, "We shared our first kiss that night" Her chest tightened and she started to rub his foot again, "I don't think he told anyone about his surgery." Her voice was soft but her jaw clenched a little. She was mad at him for not telling anyone especially her.
She snapped out of her thoughts and clung to Maryanne's reassurance. "I really hope that you're right." Lillian's rubbing turned into a light tickle on the arch of Steven's foot at Maryanne's suggestion, "Nothing" She sighed and slumped a little when his foot stayed still. She wanted to shake him and yell at him to wake up, but she knew that wouldn't help either.
"Why do you say that?" But Maryanne didn't have to answer. Lillian listened to the words of Maryanne's song and knew it was about her. She knew it with everything in her because it was how she felt about Steven. By the time Maryanne sang the last word Lillian was weeping and trying so hard not to lose it. "T..That was beautiful Maryanne. You have a true talent and your voice is incredible." She cleared her throat and looked down as she sniffled quietly.
