Lily really needs to stop making plans to get hammered on her days off. It feels like an especially bad idea to go out with Benjy. As much as she adores the man, he’s a bit of a partier, and her reckless side always tends to come out with him. Still, she makes a promise to herself that she’s not going to do anything reckless with anyone else tonight because this thing with Em is... well, Lily doesn’t really know what it is yet but she knows she doesn’t want to mess it up.
Courage officially gathered, Lily makes her way into the bar. It’s not hard to spot Benjy, sitting up at the bar with a free seat next to him. She grins and waves, heading over to him and plopping herself down beside him. “Hey there, stranger.” She pulls him in for a hug and kisses his cheek. “How’ve you been?”
