Bab 42: I'm Sorry.

Lucy tilted her head back and blinked at Tom, "Ground rules? What ground rules?" She asked as though she was struggling to understand and keep up with what he was saying.

One end of Tom's lips twitched, "Yeah. You only get to ask a question once. And you can't continue from where you stopped or generate another question from my response," Tom said and Lucy rolled her eyes.

"How boring," She muttered as Tricia returned to their table with their drink.

"Thanks," Both Tom and Lucy told her before she left.

It amused Tom that someone like her would refer to anyone else as boring, "So are you in or not?"

Lucy picked up another glass against her better sense of judgment and started drinking from it out of habit. It seemed to Tom like once she started drinking, she couldn't bring herself to stop until she was done. When she was done, she dropped the glass on the table and grinned at him as if something was amusing her, "Of course, I'm in."
