"I thought you'd be disappointed you're not facing a mansion," he chuckled, walking her to the front door and opening it for her. "Now, remember, I haven't had time to clean 'cause goodness knows I wasn't planning on having you come in here, alright?"
Thank goodness it was semi-clean mostly except for the dishes in the sink and the laundry he'd left in the washer. Or was it the dryer?

Lillian immediately felt at home as she walked through Ryan's house. She loved that it wasn't pristine or minimalistic or stark white or anything like the houses of famous people she'd been in.
"This is perfect." She muttered, her heart filling with warmth.

"You want anything? I mean, you already scarfed down half the platter we gave you but I have coffee... and wine, I think," said Ryan, walking towards the kitchen and looking through the fridge to see what he had left around.

"Wine would be lovely, thanks." She replied as she wandered into what she assumed was the living room.
In it, there was a huge, plushy couch in front a nice, but not too big, TV. Lillian almost wept with joy when she saw the bookshelf full of DVDs. She jumped onto the couch, admiring its cozy factor.
"Oh, this is wonderful!" She exclaimed, loud enough for him to hear her. "I could kiss you, really."

Ryan began uncorking the chilled wine he had left in the refrigerator. Upon hearing Lillian's last statement, he almost dropped the bottle but quickly regained himself, catching it with both hands. He cleared his throat nervously, attempting not to shake as he poured wine for the both of them.
"You just like the couch, not me," he joked as he walked over to where Lillian was sitting and handed her the glass of wine.

"And all your DVDs." She replied, taking the glass from him and sipping it.
"This is lovely." Lillian took another sip and thought, if she wasn't careful, she could get seriously tipsy.

"I'm glad you liked it," he smiled, taking a seat next to her as he sipped wine. "Now, are we in a romantic comedy kind of mood? Or action? Thriller? Since you're the special guest of the night, go crazy and take your pick."
It was so long since Ryan had a movie night with someone else. It was comforting to know that Lillian was here and that she felt right at home. It was exactly what he needed. He just needed her back in his life again.

Lillian stood up and perused the selection. Almost as if by instinct, her eyes fell on her favorite movie of all time.
"You have Pride & Prejudice?" She asked, holding up the DVD of the Keira Knightley version. She immediately popped it into the DVD player before sitting back on the couch.

"W-well, I, uh..." Ryan stammered, a bit ashamed that she managed to find that movie hidden in his DVD bookshelf. "Kiera Knightley is hot, ok?"
Grabbing a nearby blanket, laid it both on himself and Lillian, making sure that she was comfortable and cozy enough.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Lillian was smirking, but when she heard that familiar music, she smiled genuinely.
She consciously tried not to say all the lines along with the characters, but some of them were just too good not to.
Somewhere in the middle, however, after Mr. Darcy's first proposal, Lillian felt her eyes getting heavy. Not long after that, her head dropped onto Ryan's shoulder as she fell asleep.

As the movie progressed, Ryan couldn't help but watch Lillian. He saw her mouthing the lines, smiling when something cheesy happened and frowning whenever there was an argument. Half the time, his eyes were on her, paying close attention and making sure that she was content. Upon feeling her head on his shoulder and noticing her light snoring, Ryan couldn't help but smirk.
He didn't want to move, afraid to wake her. Instead, Ryan turned off the DVD, put his arm around her and gently kissed her on the forehead before falling asleep.

Lillian didn't wake up until around 8 the next morning and briefly forgot where she was. Then, she felt someone's arm around her, and everything came back.
She tried to get up, but her slight headache rendered her less than graceful. She tripped over the blanket and let out a small squeal.

Flinching upon hearing a very unfamiliar sound, Ryan blinked his eyes open, confused as to why he was sleeping on the couch in his living room. Oh yeah...
His eyes finally found Lillian almost face down on the ground, half-covered by the blanket. "What you doin' over there? Looking for more wine?" he teased, gently grabbing her arms to help her up.

"Shutup." Lillian muttered, still far too tired and, quite frankly, hungover to joke.
"Bathroom?"

Figuring it was too early for jokes, Specs gently helped her up and pointed around the corner. "Down the hallway, to your left. You need aspirin or anything? I'll make a drink for your hangover."
