Along memory lane (2)

Thirty years ago. 

"Lucinda!"

Lucy turned at the call of her name and huffed when she saw her sister running towards her. The last thing she wanted was to associate with her family. She had been forced to be engaged to the last man she would ever agree to have any relationship with and she had endured it, until the man and his family found it fun to suggest they have their wedding within a week. 

"What do you want, Lynn?" She snapped at the approaching Ava. [1]

Ava stopped when she got close enough to her. "You have to calm down, sister. You cannot make a scene on…" 

"On my engagement? I don't want to marry that dork. Have you considered that?" Lucy blew up. Ava carefully approached and took her hands. "I understand you. Can I tell you something that might make you hate me?"
