Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda blankly stared at her computer screen, typing out a few lines here and there, only to delete them moments later.

Cecilia was busy wiping down all the tables. Seeing her friend still in a sour mood, she walked over, pulling a chair to sit across from Lucinda.

Lucinda seemed not to notice her presence, still staring blankly at her computer screen.

"Lucy." Cecilia waved a hand in front of her.

Lucinda snapped back to reality, forcing a smile upon seeing her friend. "Cecilia, what's up?"

She looked around the coffee shop, seeing no customers. "Why are there no customers today?"

"We just opened, silly."

Cecilia chuckled. "You've been so lost in your computer screen since you got here, I thought you were in the middle of a writing spree."

Lucinda shut her laptop, looking troubled. "I'm not in the mood for writing."

"What happened? You don't even want to write? You've always been so consistent with your updates ever since you started writing online unless something major comes up."

Cecilia was both worried and curious. To her, Lucy was one of the most dedicated writers. Always writing whenever she had spare time, always thinking about her next update, Lucinda had almost forgotten what it was like to hang out or attend gatherings with friends.
