Lillian closed her lids to dreams of vibrant green eyes staring into her.

Lillian heard a faint buzzing coming from the counter in her kitchen causing her to wake. She mumbled something incoherent, while sitting up.

"Fuck," she commented, remembering Harry was still in the other room.

Lillian stood up and walked slowly to her room, not wanting to accidentally wake up Harry. Not so much to her surprise, Harry is already up, looking around her room. She noticed him looking at her book collection before turning to look at Lillian. She suddenly became aware of her awful image and bowed her head slightly, embarrassed.

'Why're you embarrassed, it's just this crazy man,' Lillian's subconscious reminds her.

Harry stood still, staring at her.

"What," Lillian snapped, finally getting her voice.

She walked to her closet and began to speak to Harry.

"I have work today, so I don't know where you're going to go, but you're sure as hell not staying here," Lillian finishes by walking into her bathroom to get dressed.

"Well, where do you work?" Harry asked when Lillian emerged fully dressed, his voice slower and deeper then she remembered.

Attractive, actually.

'No, not attractive. Stop it,' she whispers to herself.

"What?" Harry's face crinkled in confusion.

"Oh, for costumer service at Apple," Lillian finally replied.

"What's that?"

The look of confusion on Harry's face more than obvious.

"I talk to annoying people and tell them how to fix their shit."

Harry cringed at Lillian's choice of words, but it was apparent the cogs in his brain were working fast.

"Do you, uh, think maybe I could, uh, come with you?" he asked Lillian, hoping for the best.

"I guess..," Lillian replied, clearly put on hold by his question.

She found herself looking up and down Harry, determining he needed new clothes.

"But first," Lillian began, Harry's eyes looking back at hers.

Lillian's dull eyes flinched away from Harry's bright green ones before continuing.

"We've got to go shopping for clothes for you," Lillian finished, grabbing her car keys.

They had about an hour and a half before Lillian needed to be in to work.
