Crush

One look at Lucy's face, and Tom could tell that she had shed some tears. "Is Sonia okay?" He asked, and Lucy nodded.

"She is down with the flu, but she sounds fine," Lucy said with a small smile as she stood from the couch, ready to shower.

"I take it you shed some tears because you were still feeling emotional about Amy's situation with her best friend?" Tom said as she headed for the closet, and Lucy stopped and turned to look at him. 

"Am I that easy to read?"

"I don't think so. I like to believe that reading you is my superpower," Tom said with a grin as he held out his arms to her.

Lucy smiled as she went to meet him, "I guess I should believe that too," she said, and Tom nodded as he embraced her. 

"I know you love her, and you are scared of losing her. But don't worry too much. She will be fine. I'm sure Bryan and my parents will look after her well," he assured her as he kissed her forehead, and she gave him a nod.
