Fire Meets Gasoline

(TYLER)

I stay by Lucia's side. I keep my arm around her waist because I know she needs me by her side now. Sasha and Jericho are busy networking but she's too frail for that. I know she shouldn't be alone, and I am glad that I have to tend to her. Big crowds tend to intimidate me.

There are so many people I barely meet half of them. Lucia's side of the family is just as huge as Mr. Adonis'. Most of them will be at the house meeting after the funeral, so I'm assuming I'll get to meet them then. I'm not looking forward to meeting them. I'd rather hide in Sasha's bedroom and take a long nap. I'm already exhausted as it is and pregnancy isn't making it any easier.
