Lily knew damn well Booker wouldn't like this.

She wasn't going to let that stop her or even really bother her for longer than a moment, but she was well aware of that fact. Still, Elizabeth needed to get out. She was a sweet girl, but she was curious and the last thing Lily wanted was for her to trust someone she shouldn't and end up in a bad situation just because she wanted to see what something was like. Maybe Lily herself wasn't always completely trustworthy, but she knew where to draw the line and she knew when someone might need a little looking out for.

Elizabeth hadn't many any particular request, but Lily had picked one of the slower clubs she knew. It would still be fun and she knew there would still be plenty of people inside, but it was a Wednesday night and it wouldn't be nearly as wild as it could get on the weekend. She'd suggested Elizabeth come by first, partly so Lily could help her get dressed if she needed to and partly so she could give Elizabeth the only two rules she had for the night.

She was in the bathroom, doing her makeup and finishing a glass of wine she'd poured herself with dinner when she heard the buzzer.

Hurrying across the apartment, she pressed the button and said, "Come on up. I'm almost ready."

Elizabeth was admittedly excited at the mere idea Lily had brought up not long ago, that they might have a real night out. She, of course, didn't really admit she'd barely heard of clubs before this, but she had a feeling Lily didn't care how experienced she was going to be either way. She did try to dress up, but she had a feeling her clothes were going to be a little too old fashioned for all of this. She couldn't try anything bolder even if she wanted to, if only because Booker already was a little wary about her going out. She hadn't even mentioned what they were planning on doing.

Lily had assured her already it'd all be fine. She stood in front of the door nervously for a minute or so, but eventually hit the button. She headed upstairs when she was prompted. Stopping in front of the door she knew was her apartment, she knocked on the door lightly.

"It's me," she announced, though she had a feeling Lily already guessed that.
