"Are you sure you're okay?" Lyn asked over breakfast the next morning. Lucas nodded in reply as he packed his case, a piece of toast in his mouth. Lyn couldn't help but feel at ease, he looked like a little kid.
"Emily and Max are helping me bring the rest of my stuff round after work, will you be home?" Lucas shut the case and took the toast out of his mouth.
"Nope." He didn't even look at Lyn, he stared at the clock intensely. Lyn frowned. It wasn't like Lucas to be distracted. She put her plate in the sink and walked up behind him.
"Are you okay?" She asked, stroking his shoulders. Lucas jumped and spun round.
"Sorry, I just…got to go." He said, grabbing his case.
Lyn sighed and grabbed her satchel before heading out the door.
"He's probably just distracted. I mean, his job is pretty important, and the wedding!" Emily suggested cheerfully as they loaded boxes into Max's car.
"Nate's been busy as well." He added. Lyn shrugged. Emily and Max looked at each other.
"You guys need a night out." Max said, "Seperately. When did you last go out with your work friends?"
"I don't know, 4, 5 months?"
"That's ridiculous! Nate and I go out with our friends at least once a fortnight!"
"You have friends?" Emily teased. Max stuck his tongue out at her.
"My point still stands, you've barely spent any time as individual people, which is really important for Lucas, the guy didn't exist for more than half a year before you two met."
"I suppose. I'll give Tony a call later."
"Can you bring me along?" Emily asked hopefully. Lyn looked at her. She had pleading eyes.
"Only because Steve seems to like you." Emily jumped and clapped happily. Lyn and Max shared a brief look before laughing.
"Come on, these boxes aren't going to move themselves."

A review! I was worried no-one was reading!
If people are just afraid to voice their opinion, you are stupid. I always accept criticism. But do be nice about it, don't just tell me where it's wrong, tell me where to get better! I am actually a few chapters ahead of what I publish, and every time I get a review I publish one regardless. So there, you have your motivation!
