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.
