Lucy shrugged slightly. "I forget you weren't around when I was starting to date," she admitted. She'd never had any time in school, though she'd had a few harmless, fleeting crushes on older boys who were comfortingly impossible prospects. Perhaps people had assumed she stayed in her room or the library because she was shy. Certainly when she'd got out into the muggle word she hadn't been the kind of girl who needed to be chased. "With the kind of guys I tend to like, if I waited for them to ask I'd be waiting forever." She smirked, eyes glittering. "Besides. I like taking them by surprise and proving that I'm interested."
Lucy turned the steaks, prodding at them gently and then curling her index finger in towards her thumb and touching the muscle by her thumb to compare. "Busy," she answered. "I'm heading to the Ministry over lunch tomorrow, so I wanted to get ahead."
