It was funny, because of all the reactions that Veronica thought she would have when she finally set eyes on her best friend after so long, and after her having been DEAD, the one she expected least was the squeal of delight that came out of her as she launched herself at her best friend, her hand only letting go of Sam's to wrap around Lilly and confirm she was REAL and not a ghost, as she had been the last she had 'seen' her.
"LILLY DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!" she cried, and tears sprung to her eyes, even as she was laughing. After a moment, she stood back, wiping her face, but beaming in happiness. Well, she supposed that settled that. "This is Sam. My boyfriend," she explained, though Lilly's expression seemed to have picked that up. She pushed back a bit of hair and blushed over the compliment.
"I did grow up. It's been a weird couple years and there's a lot to tell you. Should we come in and sit down? It's probably easier if we're sitting. Oh my GOD you look the same. The very same. I'm so glad to see you, Lils, you don't even know."
