"See, and that just takes the fun out of it. One extreme over another one. All the stuff you love about it is just gone."

Which was just a shame. Most movies with sequels tended to be best by themselves, or somehow garner enough sequels that the few good ones seemed inconsequential.

This was something Luz was trying to work on. She hated putting Lexi on edge like this, so for her she did her best to reign herself in. Sadly, this was still no guarantee that it would be an uneventful time. There was almost always going to be several incidences a month. For whatever reason, Luz somehow had a few things go down she didn't expect.

"Oh, I'll bet! Those first few months can be pretty crazy. I was lucky: I had Eda for a few great months, and Margot. I was happy. They at least helped me to recognize I can make a family wherever I am."

Luz shrugged. "I try to make people happy sometimes too, but not at the point of compromising myself. That would be a hard facade to keep up."

They were different people, that was for sure, but they had different traumas too.

Luz couldn't help smiling to herself a little. Lexi seemed so special to her, how were people not charmed? It seemed crazy to her. Luz was sure she wouldn't have been able to resist her for long.

"Ah, that kind of tuna! It's all right, but I don't think I'm really a fan?"
