Once it was closing hours, Lucy exited her office, glad that she had been able to accomplish all her tasks for the day, and grateful that she could leave for the day.
As she stepped into the elevator she couldn't help thinking how much she had changed within the last couple of weeks. She never would have thought that she was the type to be excited about the end of a work day, or about not taking any work home, but here she was, looking forward to spending the evening with Tom, Sonia and the rest of both her family and Tom's family.
Thinking about family, her thoughts drifted to her conversation with Sonia that morning, and she let out a sigh as she walked out of the elevator. This didn't change anything. Loving them and wanting to spend time with them didn't mean she wanted to get married. She was just going to have to find a way to communicate this to Tom soon, so that he wouldn't get his hopes up.
