a part of lori felt pretty damn bad when she noticed the other woman, timid and clearly only trying to do something nice, but another part of her knew all too well that almost everybody wanted something, and she wasn't interested in engaging with people who might have been pretending to be nice to her to get any insider information on hope or her murder, especially with lori being openly known as her best friend. still, a hug couldn't hurt. " well, if it's still on the table, it definitely isn't going to make me feel any worse. "

Once, Lucia had arrived in a small town that seemed straight out of fiction, where everything seemed like a dream or entirely fake. It had taken her years to realize just how fake so much of it actually was. What she'd gained far quicker was her own best friend, someone she never would have made it this far without. There was a desire to help Lori, but the way she was greeted caused both of Lucia's eyebrows to raise up. "I didn't want to bother you at all," she said quietly, looking somewhere on the ground behind the other. "I just wanted to know if you wanted a hug. So... Apology accepted. But the offer of a hug is still on the table."

at times like this lori supposed that all a person ever really needed was a hug, and yet she had been seeking comfort in just about every other thing, too afraid that the comfort of a hug, or even a simple apology or offer of condolences, would cause her to lose it completely, and despite her brief stint here at the funeral, she had been doing pretty good so far at keeping it together. but now, with suspicion looming over her thanks to that god damn podcast, the iceberg that was her state was crumbling. " thank you. " she told lucia, voice barely above a soft whisper as she went in for the hug. " i really needed this. "

Lucia resisted the urge to roll her eyes. It certainly wasn't Lori's fault that the town had twisted any genuine offer of kindness, of sympathy and attempt to understand, into something worthy of suspicion. That didn't mean it wasn't very frustrating to feel rebuffed almost before a conversation could get going. Just because Lucia didn't much care for more information on Hope Mercer didn't mean other people didn't. Suspicions were fair, she reminded herself, even if they were misplaced. "Of course it's still on the table. I wouldn't offer it if I planned to revoke it immediately." Lucia opened her arms and waited. "Come here." Kindness cost nothing, after all. Mercer Hollow seemed in need of a reminder of that.
