Which of course has everyone who wasn’t there going, “What’s she talking about?” At which Lilly just smiles all knowingly.
And then there’s the Micha
el thing. Lilly says he wasn’t even there to GET the bagels I sent over this morning. He went back to his dorm room last night after the party ended because his parents were home and didn’t need him to keep Lilly out of trouble anymore.
