One step at a time

''What?'' Lucy felt that Kristine was an unfamiliar person in her eyes.

''You heard me. Since I got here, you have tried to sabotage and make my relationship with grandpa bad, but you could have just tried to make your relationship with him good instead of targeting me. I don't know what I've done to you but this has got to stop. Today is grandpa's birthday. Do you really want everyone to leave here knowing every little detail about our family?'' Kristine asked her and she kept quiet.

''I don't care whether you hate me or not but you should really go right now and look for your boyfriend and apologise to him for hurting him. Being here, fighting with me isn't going to solve anything. Do you understand?''

''He broke up with me already. I don't have anything left'' Lucy sounded dejected.

''He hasn't left yet. What makes you think you have nothing left? We are your family and if you just stop been unreasonable, you will realise how much everyone loves you''
