Closed A Date Interrupted

[Lillian Lockwood]

Convincing her mother to let Lily visit Coventry for a date with Clifton had been easier than Lily had expected. Probably because she hadn't told her dad she was on her first real date today. Still, the day had been amazing, and Lily couldn't be happier. After meeting up with Clifton, he had shown her around Coventry. Seeing where he had been raised was fascinating to her, and she found that she had really loved the town.

She had especially loved the few hours they had spent by the river, wandering the riverbanks in search of the perfect stone that matched the others eyes. She had found his after nearly an hour of careful examination, had finally settled on a dark brown stone, smooth and round. It was a deep, earthy color that reminded her of a dark soil, warm and rich between her fingers, cool and comforting. It was beautiful, and she was almost tempted to keep it. But still she gave it to him, brushing an errant curl from his eyes with a warm smile.

They had wandered over to some nearby shops, and Lily was tucked closely in his side, her fingers intertwined with his and her other hand perched on his elbow. She smiled softly, resting her cheek on his arm. "I've had a wonderful time today, Clif," she murmured, content to stay close to him.

 

[April Ward]

April didn't often visit her family in England, but they had contacted her to let her know she could pick up some chairs they didn't need anymore. April was still furnishing her place with Norton, so she had come to see if they were good for them. They had arranged to have them moved over later, and April had spent a bit of time with her dad's cousins before leaving again. But not before hearing an interesting tidbit. Apparently, Clifton was out on a date today. April couldn't help herself, she had to see if she could spot them together. So after saying goodbye to her family, she headed into town and wandered around for a bit, keeping an eye out for a familiar face. She had to see him and his girlfriend if she could, it would be too adorable to pass up.
