lu was out running some errands and decided to stop into a cafe that caught her eye. the woman could always go for some coffee ā even if she was already on her second fix ā and food sounded good, too.Ā as she walked in, she immediately spotted olivia. she was about to say hi until she noticed the girl was talking to someone else; however it didnāt sound like a friendly conversation. it sounded heated, like the other was verbally assaulting olivia, and lu wasnāt going to take it. she walked over to the two, āhey liv, is everything okay? do you know them?ā lu asked as she gently put her hand on the girlās shoulder. she then looked over at the person attacking olivia, giving them a dirty look, āwhatās your problem? got nothing better to do then start shit with random people?ā
