Lily hurried downstairs once she heard the knock on the front door, dressed in a nice navy blue dress with a white collar, her hair tied back with a white ribbon. She grinned as the butler opened the door, looking at Chris shyly.

Chris felt his cheeks flush a gentle rosy hue as he handed her the flowers. "You look lovely this evening..."

"Thank you Chris, so do you." She blushed as she took the flowers. "These are lovely... I'll have someone put them in the water for me." She handed them gently to one of the maids with a caring smile before looking back to him. "Would you like to meet my mother or are you in a hurry...?"

"O-oh..! I'd love to meet her," he replied, flustered by the sudden invitation. "Dinner isn't until seven-thirty, after all..."

She leaned in slightly, whispering quietly. "You really don't have to, it is alright."

He shook his head and smiled gently. "She's your mother. Isn't it important for me to meet her sooner or later?"

She nodded. "I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable if you weren't ready."

"I think I should be fine," he chuckled softly.

She nodded and led him into the main room, smiling. "Mother, we have a visitor who would like to meet you."

Lily's mother set down her tea when she saw her daughter enter with the handsome young man, then moved to stand. Before she could, however, Chris smiled and approached her.
"Please, don't trouble yourself. I'm Christopher Alden, pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Branom~"

Lily smiled as she watched the two. "We are going to be leaving soon, but we thought we would pop in and say goodbye first."

Her mother nodded, somewhat stupefied that a young man this attractive was the one showing real interest in her daughter. Sure, she and Mrs. Alden had set them up, but Mrs. Branom hadn't actually seen Chris since his young childhood.
"Don't let an old lady hold the two of you up. Have a wonderful time this evening," she said softly, smiling gently to the young couple.

Lily gave her mother a small kiss on the cheek, grinning. "I will be home later this evening, mother." She turned to go back outside, looking to Chris.

"Again, it was a pleasure to meet you," Chris said softly, offering his arm to Lily as they headed towards the door.

Lily linked arms with him, walking happily outside.

He led her to the passenger's side of his classy forest-green sports car and opened the door for her.

She smiled and crawled in, looking up at him. "Thank you."

He grinned and shut the door after her, then climbed into the driver's seat.

She grinned. "You drive yourself around regularly...?"

"It's more fun this way," he chuckled. "This car is too much for most chauffeurs to handle. It has two hundred and fifty-six horsepower, after all."

"Wow." She smiled nervously, pretending to know what that meant. "That's neat."

Chris blushed softly and rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Sorry.... I.... like cars a lot...."

"No its okay! I'm glad to finally find something you speak about with passion. Do you have more cars at home?"

He shook his head. "We have the family cars that my parents and younger sister are driven in, but this one is the only one that is outright mine. It'd feel wrong to use my parents' money to buy toys... this was a present for graduating university last year."

She nods. "It is admirable of you to not want to use your parents' money. I'm the same way. The only time it is used on me is when my mother thrusts a new dress into my closet."

He chuckled softly, "Well, I don't say no to food, lodgings, tuition, or medical expenses... but I have to have standards, right?"

She nods slowly, watching things pass by as they drove. She was incredibly nervous. She had never done this before. Would his family like her or never want to see her again?

Soon they pulled up into the long, winding driveway. After he had parked in the garage, he turned to her and smiled gently, trying to hide his own nervousness. "You ready..?"

She nodded, trying to hide hers as well. "Yes, let's not keep them waiting too long." She cralwed out of the pasenger seat, shutting the car door behind her.

He took a deep breath and got out of the car, then opened the door for her to go inside.
