Lucy is entirely human. In fact, she's not even aware that there are such things as non-humans or half humans or werewolves or vampires. She reads books about those things, but she assumes they're fiction. When she'd first met Derek, she'd been aware that he was passing through. She'd been pleasantly surprised to see him again and by the third time, she'd assumed he'd simply decided to stay in Alabama longer than planned.
She tries not to get close to people, but she likes Derek. He's so serious and grumpy. She feels like she's accomplished something when she makes him smile or laugh. He's gorgeous, which Lucy is just shallow enough to really appreciate, and he's interesting. Sure, she doesn't get a lot out of him when she starts trying to get him to talk about himself, but that's part of the challenge. She definitely wants to get to know Derek better and she's beginning to think she might get that chance. She's also beginning to like him more than she's ready to admit.
Lucy is a social butterfly that will chat up a fence post, but that doesn't change the fact that she likes Derek. She's almost always in a good mood and when she's not, she either hides in her apartment or fakes it. That spark, it's not all in Derek's head. She feels it when they're together as well and more often she finds herself hoping that he won't leave Alabama at all (of course, it's also possible that Lucy could be persuaded to go on a road trip).
The Houndstooth is Lucy's favorite bar. She frequents it far more than she probably should, but Lucy isn't one that pays much attention to shoulds or should nots. She sort of does what she wants. She bops into the Houndstooth dressed like a ray of sunshine (which is normal for her). Her hair bounces around her shoulders and down her back. She makes a beeline for the bar, her lips curving in a bright smile when she sees Derek there. She immediately postpones getting a drink and walks over to him, leaning in to brush a kiss against his cheek. "Well now my night is made."
And she's sincere about that. She'd only come in for a drink thinking she'd chat with the bartender and maybe meet some friends later. Her night is looking much better than that now.
