Susan + Lucy
Lucy wanted things to be okay between them. She wouldn't be upset at an apology for the confusing treatment her sister bestowed upon her the last few years. But, she would move on with or without it, as was her way.
She didn't feel uncomfortable by the hug, exactly, but more like a foreign experience, like one finding one's self at the corner of a street with a new house built, even though everything else felt familiar.
"Tea makes me feel a little less lost." Lucy appreciated the words from her older sister.
