Her body visibly tensed at my question. “I don’t know how she is. We don’t really speak.”
“Why not?”
Lily narrowed her eyes at me, “I thought one of your rules was not to get involved in each other’s personal lives.”
I had struck a nerve.
I held up my hands in surrender. “Okay we don’t have to talk about that.”
Lily ran a frustrated hand through her hair. “It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, Ethan. It’s just that things between my mother and I have been really frosty as of late.”
I could understand that. Things between my mother and I had been strained when the time of her passing came. I had said and done a lot of things that I wished I could take back.
I knew Lily had organized this little trip for me, but I had a feeling that she also needed a break from our hometown.
“Okay we don’t need to talk about it. You said we came here to be different people. We leave Riverroad behind for this one night and just let lose.”
Anne brought our drinks to the table. I had been right about the drinks looking like they were diabetes just waiting to happen. How much whipped cream, marshmallows and sprinkles did one drink need?
I lifted my diabetes-in-a-glass. “To forgetting who we are.”
Lily’s smile returned to her face, and she raised her own glass. “To forgetting who we are.”
We clinked our glasses together and sipped on our drinks. It was sweet and tasted of overly processed ingredients, but it was good.
I hoped that this trip did exactly what it was intended to do and help us forget the worries and the problems of Riverroad.
