Regret Is Useless

While Lucy was still reeling over the shocking news and wondering how Lucas was going to take it since the news was bound to get to him, the phone rang again. This time it was Sonia.

"Lucy, have you heard?" Sonia asked excitedly before Lucy could say a word.

"About Rachel?" Lucy asked, wondering if there was perhaps another news she needed to hear.

"Yes! God! I thought today was going to be a bad day after that bastard showed up to get Mia, but I guess it isn't so bad after all," Sonia said, and Lucy frowned.

"Isn't so bad? Are you happy she took her own life? Christ, Sony!" Lucy exclaimed in disbelief.

"What? You're not happy? Okay, maybe not happy, but isn't the air lighter where you are? I mean one less horrible person sharing the oxygen on the earth with us?" Sonia asked, and Lucy shook her head.

"We are talking about a human being, Sony. A human being is dead. She took her life," Lucy said, not pleased with Sonia's insensitivity.
