"I didn't ring check! Did you guys ring check?" Jennifer panics, as they enter the diner.
-
Lilly shakes her head.
-
"I didn't look." Dylan shrugs.
"Well how am I supposed to know-?"
-
Lilly rolls her eyes, and a stranger bumps into her.
---
The stranger stumbles, and he drops his iced tea.
-
Lilly jumps back as the tea, splashes on the floor.
-
"I'm so sorry!" Lilly gasps. "I wasn't looking. I didn't-"
"Obviously you weren't looking my dear." The stranger sighs annoyed.
"Please let me buy you another drink." Lilly offers.
-
The stranger looks up at Lilly, he gets ready for an insult, and then his features seem to soften.
-
"Is something wrong?" Lilly asks confused.
"What's your name deary?" The stranger asks.
"Uh-?" Lilly makes a face at the stranger.
"Hey aren't we getting food?" Dylan asks, pushing Lilly away.
-
Lilly's eyes stay on the stranger, while she's pushed away.
-
The stranger's eyes follow Lilly.
-
Jennifer eyes the man, while she follows Dylan and Lilly.
-
The stranger sighs as he leaves the diner.

"What was that about?" Dylan asks, as she pushes Lilly into a booth.
"I don't know. The way he looked at me, it just felt odd." Lilly shivers.
"Well I think we found the town creep." Jennifer comments, while sitting next to Dylan.
"I'm not sure I like it here." Lilly says, as she looks around.
"Because of one person?" Jennifer asks, the statement sounds a little ridiculous to her.
"You're too busy lusting after David. To know anything different." Lilly snaps.
"I'm sorry. How is that any different, than Manhattan and Neal?" Jennifer says annoyed.
"We're not in Manhattan, and Neal isn't here." Lilly points out.
"How do I know, you're not looking to go back?" Jennifer crosses her arms.
"Right. Like I'd really go back, and get beat again. That makes a lot of sense." Lilly rolls her eyes.
"Guys come on, we're just hungry. Let's not fight, please." Dylan tries lightening the situation.
"You know what, I'm not hungry." Lilly says, as she gets up and she leaves.
"Lilly!" Dylan tries calling after her.
"Dramatic." Jennifer mumbles.
---
"We're supposed to be, here together Jennifer! You are a little guy obsessed right now! And you're not being very considerate to Lilly!" Dylan shakes her head.
"Lilly just needs to go for a walk." Jennifer waves it off.
"Aren't you at all concerned, about that guy?" Dylan asks.
"What guy?" Jennifer asks.
"Forget it." Dylan shakes her head.
