379 Exhausted

Lucy had a broad smile as she waved goodbye to Aaron and Harry as Tom drove out of the restaurant's parking lot.

"Harry's dad is charming. I get where Harry got his charms from," Lucy told Tom when she turned in her seat to face him. 

"I take it you enjoyed yourself, yeah?" Tom asked, and she nodded. 

"A lot more than I expected, considering that I didn't even notice how much time we had spent with them until you said it was time to leave," Lucy said, thinking about how she ordinarily hated to meet new people or interact with people, but how easily she was getting along with everyone who was close to Tom. 

"I usually don't like to go out, and I find it tiring interacting with people I'm not directly related to. I don't know if it's because I love you, or it's just the kind of people you have around you, but talking to your family and friends is fun," Lucy said, and Tom smiled.
