I'll start making a chart then....and maybe flash cards. It gets complicated very quickly and easily. [And maybe she could use some of the drawings Victor gave her.]
Mmm...that's...also a long story.
[A very long one that she told Victor about, and it's still too raw for her to discuss to someone else. How she tried to break the curse and failed. She still had hope, it was there, but when it came to her own family, that's a different story.]
It has nothing to do with luck. It has to deal with the step-parents themselves.
[Their choices, and the consequences of those choices...but there isn't much time to think about it. Not when they're trying to start over.
She holds out her hand to him.]
I'm Lucy Mills, pleasure to meet you. [See? Starting over and reintroducing herself.]
Guess it's a good thing that I'm really very smart.
[ Said partly as a joke, partly as him bragging playfully. He felt a little more at ease around Lucy now, and hoped she wouldn't think he was just being smug and full of himself. ]
Yeah, you're right there, too. [ He smiled and huffed, shaking his head. ] Some people just suck, if you ask me.
[ Was that a curse word? Did that count as a curse word for an eight year-old? Well, too late to worry about that now.
His smile softened, a little more endeared, as she offered her hand. He took it promptly, shaking it briefly before letting go again. ]
