She experiences her first love in high school, and dreams about going to New York City. She does meet her the head of the company where she works, and marries him. This offers her the opportunity to open several stores. Lily works hard, and more than anything wants to have a baby. It just doesn’t seem in the cards for her and her troubled husband.
