Even Meredith hadn't picked up on her sadness at losing her father for a while, but that was perhaps because Meredith was grieving for her own loss.
After Lilly cut a multitude of slices of birthday cake and they were handed around the cave, Oliver pulled her to one side and embraced her before looking into her eyes and kissing her deeply.
It was at that moment that she knew she had fallen completely and hopelessly in love.
At the same moment, she shivered all over and the hairs on the back of her neck prickled.
Oliver pulled away and looked at her quizzically, "Are you cold?" he asked, knowing the room was actually very warm.
But Lilly shook her head, "No, that was weird. You know that old saying that someone just walked over my grave? It was kind of like that," but she shrugged it off and fell back into his arms for another long kiss.
She shivered again. Suddenly, she felt as if someone else was standing right behind her, but when she turned, she found no-one.
"Strange," she said, telling Oliver what had happened.
"Isn't that the same thing that happens to December before that so-called lost soul communicates with her?" he asked and she nodded in reply.
"Do you still feel a presence?" he asked and she nodded.
Looking around the room, Oliver scanned the crowd for December. He saw her standing in a corner with Chris, Sammy and Tiffani. She was practising her magic, showing them some of her tricks as she juggled three lit candles without the use of her hands.
"Look, she's over there. Let's go ask her."
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on December's face and the candles dropped to the floor.
Chris smothered them quickly to prevent a fire.
As Lilly and Oliver approached her, she turned to the three of them and said, "I just heard him again."
"I got that weird feeling too. I felt like someone was standing right behind me yet there was nobody there. What did he say, December?"
"It wasn't something he said, it was something he shouted."
"What, December? What did he shout?"
"HELP!"
