It's kind of hard to miss her when she walks in. Lucy looks like a rainbow lost its lunch on her dress, but she manages to make it look good even though it should be nothing short of obnoxious. It's things like that that have caught Derek's attention and things like the way she greets him that keep him on the hook.

Derek smiles a little, trying to clamp it down but unable to hide it entirely, because that's the sort of thing her mere presence does to him. She's always smiling and it's always contagious. That's also what makes her so terrifying.

His eyebrows lift with amusement and he gestures to the empty stool beside himself. "Yours too, huh? What a coincidence." He feels like he's probably got an idiot grin on his face when he lifts his bottle again to take a pull. He's attempting to hide it. "What, no plans tonight?" he asks.
