"What's going on Lucy?" She exhales
.
"I think I'm stepping down after this term as DA"
.
I. Am. Shocked.
.
"Really? Why? That's your dream?" I say turning back to look at her, she stands next to me and looks out at the club.
.
"I feel like life is passing me by San, I thought it was what i wanted and for a while it was but now," she exhales and puts her head down
.
"I just want to be with my baby girls and be happy"
.
"With Biff?" she shakes her head
.
"No san, we've been separated for a while now, he has a girlfriend. We had a prenup so everything is pretty much taken care of, we are pretty amicable we'll have joint custody"
.
"How are you so casual about this Q? Your marriage is over.."
.
I ask trying to gauge her emotions, she likes to play it cool but she's crumbling inside.
.
She shrugs
.
"Honestly San its been a while coming, I can't be sad, we had our time but neither of us are in love with each other, I'm not sure we ever were."
.
"Well I'm always here Q you know that, anything you and the girls need". I say stepping up to her
.
"I know San, you've always been my strength "
.
That makes me smile so wide my face hurts
.
She takes my hand "It's going to take me sometime but maybe we can try again, I mean if you want too? I know you've got Britt now"
.
I take a step back and sit down in my chair
.
"I've always loved you Luce but I'm happy with Britt right now" her face drops
.
"I understand San, I can't expect you to drop everything for me just because it's convenient for me."
.
I look up at her and nod "I'll tell you what Q, get your ducks in a row, spend some time with the munchkins and when you're ready, you come find me" she exhales and smiles as she turns to leave my office
.
"Besides" I say causing her to turn back and look at me.
"You're Quinn Fabray and she always gets what she wants right?"
I wink at her, she blows me a kiss as she leaves me office.
.
I lean back in my chair staring at the ceiling, tonight ended a lot different than I expected.
.
.
.
"Whoa!" I hear behind me as I make my way back downstairs to the bar
.
"Shut it Jack, I fell asleep in my office"
.
"Yeah sure" He starts laughing, I roll my eyes
.
"Hey Quinn said to give this to you?" He hands me a piece of paper i immediately smile
.
"I knew I shoulda read it first!" Jack says as I laugh
.
"Thank you Jack see you later!" I wave as I make my way to the lobby.
.
.
I get in my car and finally head home. I take a shower, throw on some sweats and scan through the takeout menu because today I am relaxing. No distractions, just a me day. I order my food, turn my phone off and turn my music up. I take a few hours and begin to clean my loft, I hear the buzzer so I buzz them in, I grab the food sit down and turn on Netflix. After a few hours I decide to do something I haven't done in a while, I turn the tub on light some candles and relax.
