the first time lucy falls head over heels, they're in galma, idaho. they're laying low until the heat from atlantic city, and they spend months in kirke's apartment, killing time, and it's almost like normal. or what she imagines normal to be, for people who haven't been on the run since their teens. lucy does the grocery shopping because it's peter and susan's faces that are on the news, and edmund is banned from all kitchen- and food-related duties. kirke grumbles at them about doing dishes and the cookie crumbs on the couch. they watch TV and argue over the single bathroom. it's nice, lucy thinks, except for how peter is smoking more cigarettes than he ever has.
there is a frozen yogurt shop on the corner where the youth like to congregate, and lucy begins to make a habit of going there that she doesn't even have to order anymore. she just goes in, starts talking and joking with ben behind the counter, and two scoops of coconut strawberry in a medium cup manifests itself on the counter, and it's four dollars twenty three.
lucy always thanks him and he always grins back, doffing the stupid "sir frost-a-lot" hat they make him wear.
+
her family and digory kirke begin to see less of her, which makes peter edgy and susan suspicious, though she doesn't say anything because she knows it would be hypocrisy. edmund, though.
like, after one of peter's spiels about being careful, edmund cuts in with his voice all cool and calm and says, "dude, just let her have her life." and then he and peter have one of their silent stand-offs, and peter is the one who grunts and scowls at lucy and says, "if this ben kid starts acting suspicious, though..."
and lucy could have kissed edmund right then and there. instead, she hugs peter, because peter needs it more, and says, "oh peter, who are we to talk about acting suspicious." then she kisses his forehead and ruffles his hair, because peter hates it when she does that.
ben drives her to a place just beyond city limits where you can park the car behind some trees and climb a rocky hill for a sunset panorama. when lucy says she's never been to a drive-in movie, he takes her to one. lucy teaches him to wiggle his ears. on his day off, she spends the night at his place having sex, watching tv, and getting wasted with him and his roommates. and it's awesome.
hmmmm, okay, i thought this would be shorter, but it is not, and anyway i am TOTALLY GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS but i just really want some ice cream and cartoons right now. hmm, and by "going somewhere", i mean "ye olde pevenceste".
