Iâve always held my own.
Iâm determined.
Iâm happy.
Iâm strong.
Not right now, though. Right now Iâm weak.
Pathetic.
Because I screwed up, I screwed up in a way I canât 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 canât 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 canât 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.
Iâm a terrible person.
A terrible sister.
But take me to hell, if you must, so long as he comes with me.
Get a girl, they say.
Find a woman, Damon.
Settle down.
I have one thing to say to that. Women equal drama.
You know itâs true.
I donât have time for drama.
Why canât I be different? Why do I have to follow the trend?
My story doesnât have to match theirs. Hell, when the time comes Iâll find the right one.
Until then, Iâll stick to friends. Yep. I can do friends.
Lucy. Sheâs my friend. My best friend, if Iâm being honest.
Sheâs strong.
Sheâs 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.
Sheâs like a sister.
No, scratch that.
Lucy, sheâs the kind of woman who could run a country.
Hold a family together.
Thatâs the kind of person she is.
The lady of the house.
Yep.
Thatâs our Lucy.
Knights Lady.
