Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda was always the perfect sister-in-law to hang out with Tiffany. They were friends before they became family, having danced the night away more than once at the Neon Nectar Nightclub. Their bond was

as solid as the steel beams that propped up the city's skyscrapers.

"Neon Nectar Nightclub." Lucinda mused to herself. Tiffany only knew which way the front doors swung open but as for the layout inside, she hadn't quite figured it out yet.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm gonna go chat with Tiff."

"Off you go, dear."

Mrs. Anderson said with a tender voice.

As Lucinda stepped out of the house, she spotted Tiffany almost immediately.

"Tiff!"

"Lucy, morning. My little rascal's over at your place, isn't he?"

Even with marriage on the horizon, Tiffany still had a habit of calling Liam, her fiancé, 'the rascal'.

Liam didn't mind, so naturally, no one else had any reason to object.

"Yeah, he's around. You looking for him?"

"I bet he's run off to bother your hubby again. I just came to drag him back home. It's some trivial thing he's worried about, and big bro can't help with that anyway. Where are you off to? Looks like it's gonna rain soon; the sky's all gloomy."

Lucinda looked at Tiffany, who seemed in good spirits, maybe a tad thinner, but not nearly as bad as Liam made it out to be.

Understanding Liam's exaggeration and anxiety was easy for Lucy. If anything happened to her, Stefan would be beside himself with worry.
