[Rumblin' Knights 03] • Knights Lady

LUCY

I’ve always held my own.

I’m determined.

I’m happy.

I’m strong.

Not right now, though. Right now I’m weak.

Pathetic.

Because I screwed up, I screwed up in a way I can’t fix.

I destroyed someone.

I stomped on a heart.

I broke the one rule all women should live by.

There is no coming back from it.

Yet, I can’t seem to find the strength to stop.

Nicolai. That name. It ruins me.

I tried to stay away.

I fought so hard.

I knew what he was. Who he was.

I knew what he had done.

But I can’t seem to stop.

I try and forget how his hands felt against my skin.

How his lips felt on mine.

How his body moved. God, his body.

I’m a terrible person.

A terrible sister.

But take me to hell, if you must, so long as he comes with me.

DAMON

Get a girl, they say.

Find a woman, Damon.

Settle down.

I have one thing to say to that. Women equal drama.

You know it’s true.

I don’t have time for drama.

Why can’t I be different? Why do I have to follow the trend?

My story doesn’t have to match theirs. Hell, when the time comes I’ll find the right one.

Until then, I’ll stick to friends. Yep. I can do friends.

Lucy. She’s my friend. My best friend, if I’m being honest.

She’s strong.

She’s determined.

She kind of holds my pieces together. And I hers.

In the most non-romantic way I can think of.

She has plenty of her own drama, she keeps us both busy.

She’s like a sister.

No, scratch that.

Lucy, she’s the kind of woman who could run a country.

Hold a family together.

That’s the kind of person she is.

The lady of the house.

Yep.

That’s our Lucy.

Knights Lady.
