[Lily had captured Winter's attention just as completely as the reverse, and it startled her badly when the phone on the table between them started to buzz; as Lily pulls back and answers her phone, Winter tries to get her pulse back under control, but also takes a valuable moment to think. What had... just happened? It felt like she'd been sucked into a little world with just the two of them... and now that she was aware of herself again, she had to admit that it had actually felt pretty good. She could work with this. And there were a lot fewer insecurities to work through here than the last time she'd felt anything like this...

And then Lily tells Jasmine she'll be there soon, and Winter registers the fact that Lily is leaving. The slightly awkward excuse for an exit is totally valid, and she nods, though she catches Lily's gaze sticking to her for a moment, and internally she knows she needs to come to a decision. Sooner rather than later, ideally, because she didn't want to do something she was going to regret.]

Do what needs to be done, Lily. And I'm glad to help. Tonight, or anytime you w-want. [She opens her mouth to keep talking, but censors herself; Lily has something she needs to do right now, and making her head spin accidentally is not the way to make that happen. She settles for something a little more neutral instead as she picks up Raquel.] Godspeed and good luck. It sounds like... you might need it.
