Hey now. Puking rainbows are totally on trend. She'd been very pleased then and now to have caught Derek's attention. As for the way she greets him, she's an affectionate, touchy person and she likes Derek. She's also a shallow person sometimes and Derek is gorgeous. Touching him isn't a hardship in any way.

That smile, she notices that little smile and the way he tries to stifle it. It makes her preen just a little. Lucy is, most of the time, a happy person and she doesn't see the point in not smiling. It's not as if frowning, bitching or crying will make her day any better.

She slides onto the stool next to him and orders a usual from the bartender. The usual is a mint julep and honestly, the bartender started making it when he saw Lucy walk in. She doesn't bother checking an 'awww' at Derek's comment. He is surprisingly sweet at random times. That's definitely what keeps her pleased to see him still coming around. Lots of guys have a view, but there aren't a lot that are still great when they start talking. Derek is one of those few. The bartender places the drink in front of Lucy and she takes a sip.

"Something might've just come up," she smiles at him. "What are you doing here?"
