7:00pmGigi's House.Family was everything to Lily hill, even though she had lost someone very important, she still wanted to have happy memories with the family she had left.“Uncle Albert isn't coming home today ?” Lily asks, pushing the last pile of dishes into the sink.Dmitri hadn't returned home the day before so she had decided to just spend a little more time at home.She had decided to come stay with Gigi for just the evening but ended up having dinner with the family. This time Gigi's mom was home and she insisted she stayed.Gigi hung the towel back on the shelf before turning to face Lily.“He said he had something to catch up on at work.”She moved the counter, removing the last bit of dishes.“ I thought he worked from home.”“Yeah, but something came up, he should be back by now, guess it's a lot of work.”Lily dried her hands, leaning against the counter. “Uncle Albert seems so busy lately.

The delicate roses scattered across the dress added a gentle charm, making her feel... different.She could remember the last time she put on a summer dress. Last year, a scorching September in Miami.

As a journalist, her job required she got the latest gossip, chasing breaking stories, and well, Summer in New York had a whole lot of news just waiting to burst out.
