It wasn't until she had seen her grandmother's writing in her journal had Lily realized she hadn't heard or seen from the first Lily in a couple of weeks. She felt bad for not noticing, but things had been crazy (as usual) and obviously Lily was still getting used to having her paternal grandmother around. Nonetheless, Lily was delighted to see her grandmother. "Hurry, come in!" she ushered her in from the storm, feeling a little bad that everyone had to travel through it to come to her picnic.
Lily gladly took the basket from her, letting her warm up and settle in. "How are you?" she asked her, hoping she had been good since they last saw each other. She was a little worried about the explanation of her absence.
