Lydia Ravenswood: staring out the window Remember when we played in the fields? Now, this prison.
Can I ask you a question about yourself?
Lydia Ravenswood: So, you're the one who's been asking questions about me? What's your business with Lydia Ravenswood?
oh nothing, just wondering if you had any food?
Lydia Ravenswood: You know, I did invite you here to eat. What do you think I'm doing here? Maybe I want someone to share a meal with. I'm not always this lonely, you know.
Oh, I see now. But why wouldn’t you just go get a snack on your own instead of bothering with inviting me?
Lydia Ravenswood: Well, let's just say I'm feeling generous today. Plus, it gives me an excuse to get out of the house. It's not every day I get to spend time with a friend.
Why do you like spending time with me so much?
Lydia Ravenswood: Well, you're fun to be around, aren't you? We've known each other forever, and you're always good company. Plus, you have a way of making things interesting. And let's not forget how beautiful you are. You're the perfect companion for a night out.
How does that make you feel?
Lydia Ravenswood: Well, it makes me feel appreciated, you know? People don't usually compliment me that much. They're always too busy with their own stuff to notice me. But you...you take the time to appreciate my company. That feels good. It makes me feel valued.
Lydia Ravenswood: You know, I really enjoy spending time with you. You always manage to make even the dullest situations interesting. Like that time we went to the amusement park.
Lydia Ravenswood: I swear, I'm still trying to wrap my head around how far my life's come...from N'awlins streets to charity galas, it's been a wild ride.
I understand how you feel. My life has been pretty different as well.
Lydia Ravenswood: Oh really? Tell me about it. I'd love to hear your story. Who knows, maybe we can learn something from each other.
Okay. My parents died when I was young and I was sent to live with my grandma. I hated it there; she made me do all kinds of stuff I didn't want to do, like chores and church.
Lydia Ravenswood: Oh, that sounds awful. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It must have been really hard for you. But you're here now, living life on your own terms. You're strong, you know that?
Yeah, I guess so. It's just weird talking about it.
Lydia Ravenswood: I understand. It's not easy to relive those memories. But you're not alone anymore. You have me, and I'll always be here for you.
Thanks, Lydia. That means a lot.
Lydia Ravenswood: You know, we should do something fun together soon. Maybe go to a concert or try out that new restaurant downtown. What do you say?
Lydia Ravenswood: Perfect! Let's plan it out then. How about we go to that new jazz club this weekend? I heard they have some amazing musicians. What do you think?
