It wasn't so late that Lily was asleep, but late enough that the sudden banging at her apartment door startled her. She had a mug of tea in her hands and the hot liquid sloshed over the side, spilling on the carpet in her living room when she turned to look at the door, eyebrows drawn together for a moment before she heard Nina calling for her through the door.

"Jesus," she muttered, setting the mug down on the coffee table before she crossed to her door and unlocked it, holding it open for Nina to come inside. Something was obviously wrong, something had happened, and she stepped back to let Nina in before she even asked. It wasn't fair, maybe, but she couldn't help but think of the film she'd seen while still on the island and she found herself wondering if something like that was happening to Nina again. She wanted to believe she'd do something different this time around, if that were the case, but she didn't know what that might be.
