What an odd girl.
I agree.
Both of Alfendi's personalities watched as Lucy conversed with their coworkers.
She had the brightest smile, the most excited aura about her. It was like nothing could go wrong when she's around. Lucy was like the energetic kick to his side.
A sidekick. You're funny.
Placid took a sip of his coffee and went over to sit next to her at the table.
"Prof! 'ave ya 'eard? They're finally put t' verdict on Justin! The execution's 'appending tonight!"
"Execution? Tonight? That's what you two were whispering about! You lied to me!" Sniffer said, then let his head hit the table as depression took over.
"We had to, Sniffer. It was to protect you! Now don't get any funny ideas!" Florence patted her bushy haired friend on the back to comfort him.
"Tah be fair, I said I wanted tah tell ya. But we all know ya get when we talk about 'im." Dustin added in.
Everyone at the table but Sniffer laughed.
"You usually don't laugh at anyone's jokes."
Lucy's quiet voice came to his ears as she held his hand.
"Is that bad?" He felt her scoot closer and snicker.
"Of course not. That's okay."
"Hey. Hate to interrupt the love fest, but some of us are taking our sad friends and leaving." Florence motioned towards the weeping red head Dustin was dragging away from the table.
"Is break time over already? Come on, Prof! We 'ave a mystery to solve!" She jumped out of her chair and pulled Alfendi along with her.
Love? Well… Maybe things really have changed for me.
And that's okay.
