Just as Tim left, someone else stepped out of the elevator.
Lily's eyes snapped up as the door opened and her eyes brightened.
Her best friend, Gemma Wilson, was standing there.
"Oh, m'girl, you looking prettttttty!" Gemma shouted as she ran toward Lily, arms wide open for a hug.
Lily's smile widened. Gemma had truly been the greatest divine gift granted to her… After Jensen, of course.
She remembered the first time she met Gemma.
Years ago, when she was far younger and the pressure, she was facing from her uncle… Someone she was supposed to trust after her father's death.
Gemma had found her weeping in her hidden spot back at school. At first, Lily expected to be ridiculed or made fun of after getting caught with snot running down her face.
But no… Gemma sat next to her and cried as well.
Turns out, her crying spot had also been used by Gemma, they just never crossed paths until that day and as they cried, they both shared their stories.
