Re: Lucy and Open
Lucy's expression was sympathetic. "I'm sorry," she said. "I know how you feel - I started a new job... a couple of months ago." She felt very much like she'd lost all track of time since moving out of her shared house in Tufnell Park. Had it been one month? Two? More? "It's been crazy. I get two days off a week, in theory, but they're not always the same days, and I work with people in different timezones so sometimes I have to start early or late to accommodate them."
Realising she was babbling she shrugged. "Sorry. I talk too much when I'm nervous. I'm Lucy, by the way." She held out a hand to him, grateful to him for distracting her at least a little from her nerves.
