"I don't know! She snuck up on me! And she's – she's tall!" Lillie's voice was a high, mortified whine as she clapped her hands to her face, looking around wildly for something to hide behind or a... window to jump out of, something, because this? This was not the impression she wanted to make the first time she met Justin's mother. Like Dean, Lillie didn't do parents, precisely for this reason. She got nervous, and when that happened her tendency to act like a spazztastic bimbo took over, and then things like this happened. She got nervous, and she got stupid. Ugh. This was so bad.
Through her fingers she sent Justin a thousand apologies with wide, horror-struck eyes as he rushed to the door to greet his mother properly. As soon as the door opened, Lillie ducked behind Justin to hide, yet went up on her toes to peek over his shoulder, trying to be inconspicuous but failing miserably. The sight of his mom with her hand on her hip, so very reminiscent of Ellen, made Lillie's eyes go even wider. "Ohhh, god," she whispered just below Justin's neck. "Redo. I demand a redo!"
