Lydia shifts to get her purse so that she can pay her own half once Baby agrees. She'll just feel a lot better about this whole thing if he doesn't treat it like a date since they've sort of blown that portion out of the water. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Lydia likes to think Allison would've gone about things differently than Lydia herself is going to and so while she's decided she's living for the both of them, it's not the worst thing in the world if things don't go Lydia's way. This is a good example of a positive compromise, in her opinion.

"Don't feel bad," she says, shaking her head. "I don't. I think we both contributed to the tonal shift of the conversation, so it's okay. Besides...I'm always in need of friends," she adds. Especially friends that she hasn't bonded with specifically through tragic or traumatic circumstances. It'll be nice, she thinks, to cultivate these sorts of relationships, like the one she has with Spencer. Lydia decides Baby probably belongs in a similar file and it's never a bad thing to make a new friend.

Her eyes move over his face and she takes him in for a moment. "So what do you think? Drive?" She can guess that he'll choose driving over walking, but Lydia is honestly amenable to either. He can choose and then they can head out.
