Chapter 588 A New Understanding
“Nah, just practicing today.” Lucas kept his focus on the sketch, occasionally glancing up at her.
Just don’t make me look like a cartoon character or something”
The moment Lynn said that, Lucas stopped mid–stroke She glanced at herself in the mirror.
Then gave a wry smile.
Yeah, that was fair.
She grabbed a makeup wipe and handled it herself–probably for the best anyway.
Beside her, Lucas chuckled softly, watching intently as she fixed her makeup.
While filling in her brows, Lynn stole a glance at him.
He was half–leaning against the vanity, and something about the way he looked in that moment reminded her of those guys who rack up millions of views just by existing. Annoyingly attractive.
“Lucas, you’re seriously good–looking. How do you not have a girlfriend?”
“Personality’s trash. Nobody wants to deal with it.” He picked up a strand of her hair, started twirling it absently.
Lynn nodded. “Yeah, that tracks.”
Lucas watched her through the mirror. “If I’m so difficult, why’d you pick me then?”
“Cause you’ve got that edge. Means nobody’s gonna mess with me,” Lynn said simply.
“Huh. Actually not a bad reason.”
Lucas straightened up, grabbed a brush, and started running it through her hair. If eyebrows weren’t his thing, at least this he could manage.
Lynn didn’t stop him–let him have his moment. Clucess as he was.
The guy could literally spend forever playing with a single strand of hair
They ended up spending most of the day at Moore Manor, and by carly afternoon, people gradually started heading out
Lucas dropped Lynn off at Daisy’s place before conting to the allice
Later that evening. Lynn went with Daisy to help out the bar
The place only really started filling up closer to sunset yn was tucked away in a corner when Lucas finally wrapped up work and swung by to get her
Daisy shud in next to her watching Lucas that with Joseph at the counter

“That man is so gone for you. Look at him–can’t even keep it together for one night without coming to pick you up.” Daisy smirked. “Love’s a scary thing. Any other guy would’ve been long gone by now.”
Lynn didn’t respond.
She’d been thinking about it lately—Lucas had been acting different. Sure, he was responsive, almost intense sometimes, but he never made the next move. And she didn’t feel right pushing it either.
Would make her seem desperate.
“Hello? You even listening?” Daisy raised an eyebrow at Lynn, who seemed completely checked out.
Lynn blinked. “Yeah. Totally.”
“Okay but imagine–big, loose waves would look insane on you.” Daisy grinned. “If you did that and just sat on his lap, he’d probably-”
“Daisy, you’re actually terrible!”
Lynn wasn’t there yet. Their first night, and the morning after, Lucas had taken the lead. But since then, he hadn’t initiated anything.
She murmured quietly, “I like it straight anyway. It’s pretty and easy.”
At that exact moment, Lucas looked over and caught her mouthing to Daisy. “I like it straight.”
Daisy’s grin widened into something mischievous.
Lucas let out a quiet breath, almost a laugh. Couldn’t help the thought that surfaced: same here.
It wasn’t that he’d lost interest. Those first couple of days, he couldn’t get enough–and she ended up sore because of it. Sometimes he could tell it hurt, but she never said a word, just pushed through with that brave face. It killed him.
He was scared she was just tolerating it to make him happy.
So he figured he’d let her rest a few days, let her heal properly before picking things back up
That way, it wouldn’t be so rough on her.
Joseph noticed the way Lucas looked at Lynn–something soft in his expression that Joseph had never seen before.
“So, you two doing a honeymoon or what? Joseph asked casually.
Lucas blinked. Honestly, it hadn’t even crossed his mind Suddenly felt like he’d forgotten something important.
“Got any recs?” he asked
Joseph glanced toward Lynn, then back at Lucas: “For Christmas. Biltmore Estate’s pretty nice. Timing lines up well too. She’d probably love it
Lucas paused. “Yeah
