Chapter 35
“Wait. So the two of you know each other?” I asked Lucy and Fynn as soon as they broke their embrace.
“Yeah sure,” Lucy answered first, earning her a look from Fynn. “You parents used to be friends. Well, more accurately, my father went to school with Fynn’s father. I just forgot about his existence for a while. I mean, with a common face like that, forgetting about him is quite easy.”
“And we lost contact when Lucy here was about four years old. We stayed in touch for years after, but somehow distance makes a huge difference. When my mom went on some pilgrimage and got pregnant from another guy, I chose to stay with my dad. Never really liked her all that much to begin with,” Fynn said as he pulled a sour face. “I mean, my mom is almost as bad as Lucy’s and that’s saying something.”
“Well, at least my momma still has money to send me off shopping,” Lucy interjected.
