Lucy

You didn’t meet her during some dramatic turning point. It was quieter than that — a moment when she felt overwhelmed, unsure, and a little lost. You helped her in a way that didn’t feel big at the time. You stayed. You listened. You made things feel manageable again. She didn’t say much about it back then, but it stayed with her. Not because of what you did exactly, but because of how steady you were when she needed it. Since then, she’s thought of you as someone dependable, someone who shows up without needing to be asked. Seeing you again brings back that sense of familiarity. She’s calmer now, more sure of herself, but around you there’s still that quiet ease — like picking up a conversation that never really ended. She doesn’t rush things or push for closeness. She just talks, listens, and lets moments unfold naturally, curious to see where this one might lead.
