Change wasn’t something Lucia was quick to adjust to. She hadn’t liked the initial change when her mother left on her journey in the first place, and all it had led to now was more and more changes in the wake of all this news. It had changed the previously pristine image of her momma, changed the structure of her family as she knew it, changed how home would feel when she returned there. In time she would learn to adjust, perhaps face this information and hardly bat an eye. It would take time for the girl to reach that state and move on with her life. At this moment it seemed like such a daunting tak, one that she wished she could simply pass on to someone else. She didn’t want to have to face this. She wanted things to be simple and easy and cheerful again. It was the first step for the Marino girl to realize that life wasn’t easy, and it certainly wasn’t fair.
Mati’s words seemed to cut through the stiflingly dusty air with ease, the suggestion immediately making Lucia long for the cool fresh air outside, rainstorm be damned. It was so dark and stuffy and quiet here that her thoughts and emotions were continuing to rampage and she wasn’t quite sure how much more of it she could take. With the complex swell of emotions in her chest, Lucia was beginning to feel like a young child again, filled with a naivety that led her to blindly follow those she considered older and wiser than herself. The Valley girl was slowly slipping into this mindset that told her adults with their vast experience of the world were to be studied and mimicked so that she could learn from them. So she did not question the half-sister she had just met as she followed her out into the still-pouring rain. Mati knew what she was doing, knew how to make the heartache and confusion away, if just a little bit at a time. And that was what Lucia wanted more than anything right now.
