WHO. Lily and Bart WHERE. Jean Georges WHAT. Dinner WHEN. Saturday at 8 pm
Lily was running late again, she had gotten caught up in yet another argument with Serena and had only been able to storm out the door after a half hour of ridiculous reasoning. She had sulked the entire ride over, irritated with her daughter and irritated with herself and irritated with the traffic. Ever since Serena had been back, the once quiet room Lily had secured at The Palace had become full of tension and fighting. Eric kept quiet but Serena was always willing to give an opinion at where Lily had gone wrong. Lily was ready for a night out in good company, and she was curious. She was surprised by Bart's open flirtation at the fundraising event and she wondered where it had come from.
She took a calming breath before she got out of the car and headed into the restaurant, looking around for Bart. She spotted him, hunched over his Blackberry in concentration. She smiled, walking over to him and placing a hand on his shoulder, surprised at how tense he was. "Bart."
