    Summary

    Kate pauses, the coffee pot titled over her to-go mug as the freshly-brewed dark roast starts to fill it. “Another undercover assignment? For both of us?”

    Lucy carefully takes the pot from Kate, leveling it off before all 8 ounces end up on the counter. “Cool, right? A joint undercover operation. Thelma and Lousie, teaming up to take on the bad guys.”

    Summary

    Kate is so focused on scrubbing the saucepan that she doesn’t even hear Lucy come up behind her until she is hopping up on the counter to settle herself beside the sink. Kate glances up in surprise and Lucy offers her a slightly self-deprecating smile, her eyes shining with an apology that makes some of the worry that has been knotted in Kate’s stomach untangle.

    Kate gives her a smile in return, and Lucy visibly relaxes a little. But she still doesn’t say anything, so Kate returns to the dishes, content to wait until Lucy is ready to share.

    “I got a wedding invitation today,” Lucy says so suddenly that Kate jumps a little.

    Relief floods Kate so quickly it leaves her limbs feeling light and airy. She had started to assume the absolute worst, but a wedding invitation? She can handle a wedding invitation.

    “Whose wedding?” Kate asks, going back to washing the dishes. Some lettuce from the salad bowl sticks to her hands and she wrinkles her nose, everything inside her recoiling at the sensory nightmare wet lettuce is.

    “My brother’s,” Lucy says evenly, “I didn’t even know he was engaged.”

    Or: Estranged families are complicated, but Kate’s love for Lucy is quite simple.
