Press events had never been one of Liz's favourite parts of her job. Right from the beginning of her career, she'd found there to be something quite unnerving about all of the cameras and the eyes and the attention, just on her.
However, when Liz and Avan had their daughter, they quickly realised she loved the press events. Kyler was obsessed with the camera flashes, the crowds of people and the action. From the age she could first walk, she had been Liz's date to any professional event she had to attend.
So it was no surprise that Liz couldn't find Kyler after the set menu meal at the Designer Fashion Spring Presentation. She had sent her daughter a couple of texts and was waiting for a single response. Aside of the fact Liz had long had enough, it was almost time to leave and she needed Kyler to turn up.
"Hey mom." Liz heard from behind her and she spun around to see Kyler.
"There you are! What have you been doing?" Liz asked, closing her phone away in her purse.
"I was making friends." Kyler smiled.
"With who? All these people are strangers." Liz frowned.
"Not anymore." Kyler shrugged.
"Honey, I'll never know where you got your confidence from." Liz laughed.
"No one knows. You and dad are both unbelievably socially awkward." Kyler said honestly.
"How rude." Liz shook her head and Kyler laughed fondly.
"What did you need me for?" Kyler asked.
"It's time to go." Liz told her.
"Ugh, already?" Kyler whined.
"Kyler, we've been here for almost five hours." Liz rolled her eyes.
"Fine, fine. We can go, I suppose." Kyler sighed.
"Perfect. Come on then." Liz tilted her head towards the exit.
"I have to say my goodbyes first." Kyler said, looking down quickly to check her outfit.
"To who? Everyone here is practically double your age." Liz asked curiously.
"And they love me for it. Especially Helen. Bless her." Kyler smiled.
"Who's Helen?" Liz frowned deeply.
"Aw, Helen. She's a sweetheart. She says I keep her feeling young." Kyler scrunched her nose affectionately.
"What the hell are you- You know what, maybe it's best I don't know. Just go say your goodbyes." Liz exhaled slowly.
"I'll be two minutes! Oh, and then I have to find that guy I gave my number to." Kyler said, ready to walk away until Liz grabbed her hand.
