They haven't hung out in far too long.

Lily's been meaning to call Eden for weeks now, but she's been swamped with rehearsals and performances and she keeps letting it slip by without thinking. But eventually she takes a moment, closes the door of her dressing room at the studio and calls. It's easy to get caught up in living in Darrow, easier than it ever was on the island, but that's not an excuse and she likes to think she's a better friend than that.

So they make plans and now, two days later, she's left the studio early, gone home to shower before she takes Eden out for the night. Dinner, some dancing if they want, anything they want to do, really. She's excited to see Eden again, to catch up on what's been going on in their lives and she's surprised to find just how much she misses her friend. Not because Eden's not wonderful, but because she knows her tendency to move on easily, to drift in and out of a person's life, but it's been too long now. She's too invested.

It's a good thing, she's finding.

Outside Eden's, she leans against the wall and knocks on the door, smiling in anticipation.

Eden's life in Darrow has been a quiet one, for the most part, but she likes the simple ease of it, having a life where things seem to run smoothly and she's not normal but no one knows. Some day she'll tell the truth, admit what she is to the people she loves, but she's never seen the point in labels anyway. All she really wants is to go out with her friend and have fun, like any girl her age who's never died.

Dressed up for a night on the town, it doesn't take too long for her to get to the door, fastening an earring as she goes. "One second," she calls, then opens up, grinning at the sight of Lily. She's never going to get over her completely, she thinks, or that thrill of warmth that runs through her every time she sees her, but that's okay. Some things just aren't meant to be, and she's still pretty sure Lily's her best friend here. "Hey, hi." She steps forward to hug her. "Ugh, wow, it's so nice to see you're still alive."
