Lunch with Lily [Closed - Lily Middleton]
Sep. 7th, 2014 03:24 pm To say she'd been surprised when an invitation to lunch with Lily Middleton had shown up in her mailbox would be... an understatement. Val didn't get invited out by prestigious members of the community. She got invited to their homes to spruce up their flowers, or to plot out their gardens, but never to their country clubs for lunch.
She had no idea what this could be about and was anxious beyond belief to talk to the woman but you did not turn down Lily Middleton. Not unless you were on your death bed and even then, it would be rude not to at least invite her to say goodbye. So that afternoon, she sent a reply that she would meet her there, scoured her closet for something nice to wear, and called a cab to bring her into town.
By the time she arrived, her stomach was roiling. Everyone here was rich and she was so very not. But a quick word to the host, letting her know whose guest she was, and she was shown to a small table on the veranda. Gulping down a few deep breaths, she took her seat and waited for the Middleton matriarch to arrive.
