Jennifer gets up to pay the check.

Dylan takes out her phone, and she tries calling Lilly.

"Hey this is Flower's phone. I'm busy right now, please leave a message." Lilly's voicemail picks up.
"Come on Lilly." Dylan tries again.
"Hey this is Flower's-"

Dylan ends the call.

"She's fine. Lilly takes off all the time." Jennifer says, as she returns.
-
Dylan glares at Jennifer.
-
"Do you remember the first time she moved to Manhattan?" Jennifer asks.
-
Dylan rolls her eyes.
-
"We had to buy that upstairs apartment. Because we couldn't find Lilly. She hid from us for a month." Jennifer crosses her arms.
"The circumstances were different! She was hiding from her father!" Dylan argues.
"Still point proven, that she likes to hide." Jennifer shrugs.
"Whatever." Dylan sighs.

The diner bell rings, getting Jennifer to look up.

"David!" Jennifer smiles.
"Hey are you guys ready for that tour?" David asks, as he approaches Jennifer and Dylan.
"I'm ready. Dylan?" Jennifer nods.
"Yeah." Dylan sighs, as she gets up.

"Hey have you seen Lilly?" Jennifer asks David.
"Yeah she respectfully, declined the tour." David sighs, as they leave the diner.
"Do you know where she went?" Dylan asks.
"No, I can't say I do." David shakes his head.

Dylan frowns.

"I'm sure she's fine." Jennifer shakes her head.
"I don't have a good feeling." Dylan whispers.
-
Jennifer rolls her eyes.
-
"Would you rather go looking for-?"
"No. Lilly's a big girl. She'll appear when she's ready." Jennifer reassures.
"Alright. Let's start with the library." David nods.

Dylan tries Lilly's phone, one last time.

"Hey you've reached Flower-"
