Lily has every right to decline coming to visit Abbie's new school, and having to see the place that has kept them apart for so long. Honestly, she's surprised that the answer is a maybe instead of a flat-out no.
It still hurts, though, that tone of voice, and the way that Lily doesn't reach out for her hand, or offer her a hug, or a kiss, or ... any sort of comfortable, intimate contact, and -
Well. That's all Abbie's fault, isn't it? That's her fault for not making Lily feel as valued and as wanted as she really is. And for how desperate she is to apologize, to make Lily understand that her feelings haven't changed at all ...
All she can do is follow along, bags in hand, trying very hard to sound like everything is fine.
"Yeah. It's a nice day, I thought you might like to enjoy the weather a bit with me."
