Lucy had a satisfied smile on her face as she settled down behind her desk. Who would have thought she would derive such level of satisfaction from a confrontation?
She had woken up feeling very happy, enthusiastic, and optimistic. Perhaps it was because she had woken up much earlier than Tom and had spent some time watching him sleep so peacefully while calling her name in his sleep and unconsciously reaching for her with his arms, or maybe it was because of the way his eyes had lit up and he had smiled at her so lovingly when he opened his eyes and saw her watching him sleep.
She had started her day feeling very loved, and in love with not just Tom, but with her life too. And because she intended for it to remain that way she had decided to tackle all of her problems by confronting them head on instead of waiting for them.
