Lily, whose ex-boyfriend cheated on her, finds this unsavory. And Regina [[BrokenPedestal doesn't take it any better]]. When they confront Phillip with the truth, he admits that he and Mary ''were'' a couple. ''However'', they only started going out when each of their spouses were dead (essentially in Arthur's case). The only reason they didn't make it official was because they didn't want to make it a unnecessary fanfare. Needless to say, both Lily and Regina apologize for the misunderstanding.

''Lily's Garden'' is a mobile game by Tactile Games. It is essentially a MatchThreeGame with overarching story elements.
Following a string of bad luck (including losing her job and finding out that her rich boyfriend was cheating on her), Lily finds out that her great-aunt Mary [=LaRosa=] has died and left her a large estate in the country. There's just one catch; the property turns out to be in bad shape, and the will stipulates that Lily must restore the entire estate to its "former glory" (to be determined by Mary's lawyer) within thirty days, or else Lily must forfeit the property.
----
!!This game contains examples of:
* TheAlcoholic: Cousin Larry is a lush, much to Lily's disgust. A lot of his plans for Mary's house involve stuffing it with wet bars.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Regina is not fond of men, although she is initially married to one.
* FloralThemeNaming: It's a game about a garden estate owned by the [=LaRosa=] family, where the inheritor is a woman named Lily.
* FriendsRentControl: While the game lampshades how Lily is able to afford her estate (it's all inherited), it doesn't really explain how she's able to afford the repairs. Even with Regina and Luke agreeing to work for free, there would still be a lot of expenses that Lily would have to pay for, and she is supposedly between jobs, to say nothing of the expenses involved in moving her stuff across the country.
* MatchThreeGame: In order to gain the points necessary to complete actions, you must play through a succession of levels. Each level has different goals, but the basic gameplay involves matching two or more tiles to clear them.
* QueerFlowers: Regina and Lily strike up a close friendship very quickly. By the end of the first month, Regina is contemplating leaving her husband, telling Lily she loves her "jokingly," and she asks Lily to say the same back. They also dance together.
* SillyWill: Mary's will leaves Lily her entire estate, but stipulates that she must restore it to its former glory within thirty days or forfeit the property.
