---

She placed the final bottle of wine on the dinner table, and crossed her arms slightly narrowing her eyes for a short moment. The most incredible smell of warm pizzas had begun to fill the room a new minutes since delivery guy had been here. "We are all set," she exhaled and uncrossed her arms as she walked over to Lucas to close her arms around him. Cecilia took a deeper breath in and breathed out again. She needed to remind herself it was okay not to worry about the world every given minute, and it was hard not worrying about things you couldn't control. But tonight, she needed to just shut the outside world off and just be with the people that she loved. Cecilia placed a quick tender kiss on the shapeshifter's lips, and gave him a warmer smile."Are you ready for them?"  She then asked with a slightly teasing spark in her eyes. Mono and Cecilia could be a handful themselves, but they had also known each other for so long by now. Evelina was another story, Evelina and Cecilia had met after her and Lucas had separated. Cecilia didn't need visions or predictions to know that Evelina was and would be protective by nature, she had even been in Nigel's face the second she saw him again. However, she also knew that Evelina was happy that Cecilia was happy. "Remember, if she seems tense.. just mention that we got her favorite pizza. Potato Pizza with Goat Cheese - the good goat cheese," she chuckled lightheartedly while shaking her head a little bit, "like, if you think I can talk about food every given situation.. you have seen nothing yet." -"Just don't let her scare you too much." She added with a comforting smile. She turned her eyes to the door, they would be here any second.

Lucas regarded Cecilia warmly, casually leaning onto the doorframe behind him as she fluttered around like a butterfly, making sure everything looked perfectly lovely. He still couldn’t believe how natural it felt being around her like this and how quickly he’d felt at ease in situations around her.
We are all set.
Looking at the two of them one would think that she was more nervous about tonight than he was; the way she walked around fiddling with the little details. Truthfully he felt utterly horrified by the thought of it all but refused to show his fear. Thankful that being a teacher had helped him in masking nervousness he let out a soft chuckle as she waltzed back to him and he could wrap his arms around her tiny frame. He breathed with her, taking in the calming smell of her perfume, letting it wrap around him like a warm blanket. He genuinely wished they could stand here, just like this, all evening and that he wouldn’t have to socialize and defend himself all evening - a thought he had to push aside. He remembered Mono well and had liked the guy but had never met Evelina. From experience girls were wildly protective of their friends, as he had discovered with Maeve a few weeks earlier, and had a good idea of the hostility he would probably meet from this girl.
“Remind me again how much of a villain she thinks I am?” He chuckled, replying with the same teasing tone of voice as her - his eyes showed a little flash of sadness by the thought of all of Cecilia’s friends probably thinking of him like that. He still felt like he wasn’t entirely good enough for her but hoped he’d prove himself wrong. “I don’t think talking about goat cheese all night is gonna help my case,” he pointed out with a more genuine smile. He gently pushed a loose curl behind her ear and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. “But I’ll take it.”

He playfully poked her belly, on the drawing of the bear that was on her jumper, as he awaited the doorbell.
“Mh, if I can finesse your cousin suppose I can handle Eve,” he mumbled though his voice didn’t exactly sound as confident as he would’ve liked. He constantly had to remind himself that this dinner wouldn’t be how it had been when they’d been younger. This time Lucas was very different from what he had been then and he had very much practiced social events. Another little detail tonight being that everyone knew about the supernatural world. He squinted his eyes suspiciously at Cecilia, and pursed his lips dramatically. “I’m not supposed to be scared of you puny little humans, remember?” He added with a soft smile and squeezed her a little tighter, lovingly studying her glistening eyes. He would do this for her, he thought, and he would make a great effort to enjoy tonight.

Remind me again how much of a villain she thinks I am? She chuckled a bit with a lightly eyeroll. "Oh please.. it's not that bad," she took a deeper breath in, even if she was deeply mad or hurt by someone - she didn't have the gut to even talk bad about him. She never had, "but just around enough for me to be eating ice cream for breakfast every day for over a month.. which now that I think about it, wasn't the worst idea," she tilted her head a little bit. “It is highly recommended.” He was right however; goat cheese might not be the solution for this. "Yeah I know, she is just protective," she added as he kissed her forehead. Even with the following event years after with Nigel leaving her.. then her minor thing with Jasper, there wasn't any fiber in Cecilia's body who wouldn't be just as protective towards Evelina, if their roles had been reversed.

"With that charming smile of yours, I reckon you can overcome just anything," she teased lightly, while squeezing her nose a little bit for a short moment. Cecilia knew Evelina could be intense, even if she meant well and she had asked Mono to remind Evelina to actually take a deep breath in. The look in his eyes made her tilt her head just a little bit, "puny humans, is that right? And here I was about to grant you a kiss of confidence.. but I'm sure don't need it," she replied with a brighter smile, as he squeezed her a little bit. Cecilia listed her hand up to his jaw and shook her head a little bit. "Or am I wrong?" She raised her brow a little playfully, before she stole a quick kiss. Which was perfect timing as the door opened.

Honey we are home!
Cecilia folded her lips in a laughter by Mono's happily singing voice that filled the room. "And.. they are here," she turned her head still standing close to Lucas, as she watched Mono and Evelina enter the room. Cecilia let go of Lucas to greet Mono in the arm hug, it seemed like forever since she had seen him, even if it was just a few weeks ago. "Anytime, you know that" she replied and let go. She knew Mono knew more about her and Lucas' entire story, he had seen it the best and the worst sides of the outcome. But she was happy that Mono at least had chosen to be giving him a chance. Cecilia darted eyes at Evelina as she walked in, with the dessert in one hand, she walked through to the kitchen and returned. Letting Mono greet Cecilia and Lucas first. She looked to the side as she felt Evelina's arm around her and gave her best friend a hug. So, this is the wildly discussed Lucas? "Indeed," she replied and moved her eyes to Mono for a split second. Evelina's threat made Cecilia shake her head a little bit, it was a classic Evelina. Cecilia shook her head at Evelina as she kept talking. "You were always the drama major Eve," she replied and couldn't help but laugh a little bit, then walking to Lucas. "See you survived," she whispered in a small tease.

"Eve let me know if you want any of the rakia, I have some in the fridge.. I'm saving it for when Irina comes by tomorrow - but it's not like she will drink the entire bottle," she gently grabbed Lucas' hand, as she walked closer to the dinner table, mostly to assure he felt comfortable - or maybe it was her own nerves from everything she wanted to hide away for just one night. She gestured Mono with one hand to just sit down, before walking over to a free chair and letting slowly go of Lucas' hand again. She sat down exhaled, waiting for the others to do the same before she poured some wine into her own and Lucas' glass. Then she handed the bottle to Mono. "Let's eat - there is a bit of everything as always." - "And no Mono, I did not forget the fries."

..Ice cream for breakfast every day for over a month...
Lucas couldn’t help an apologetic smile at her. At least it was good to hear that she had been choosing ice cream over alcohol - he had seen deep down the bottle for more than a month after he had left and it had been some of the darkest moments in his life. If it hadn't been for Vic and Jack and Raf he doubt he would've ever made it out of the toxic circle.
He rolled his eyes at her playful statement about his smile, and flashed a winning grin at her to show that she was absolutely right, faking whatever confidence he would have liked to possess for the evening and accepting the little good-luck kiss.
"You're never wrong," he mused, leaning into the palm of her hand.


The singing, warm voice of Mono echoed through the room and Lucas couldn’t help but crack into a humming little chuckle.
Then the house was invaded.
The beautiful, dark haired girl strolled right past him to the kitchen with something in her arms and Lucas took a light shuffling step to the side so Mono could wrap his arms around Cecilia in a warm hug. Trying not to look too lost in the chaos, he sent the guy a soft smile; a smile that froze slightly at the raised eyebrow before his face softened up. He couldn’t help but to shake his head with a light chuckle.
Lucas reached out and grabbed his hand with a warm smile, lowering his shoulders a little after the raised eyebrow had had him tense up. “Hey Moe,” he replied softly and gave his hand a firm shake before letting go. “How are you, man? Good to see you.” Despite the stubble, Mono looked so much like himself that it was scary, he thought with a wide smile, and wondered how much he himself had changed over the years. Now with glasses and a prominent beard. Still the same blue eyes he hoped, just as the girl waltzed back into the room.
The infamous Evelina Romeo.
He couldn’t really say anything to the little verbal jabs but tried to look at unthreatening and soft as inhumanly possible before she reached her hand out and he gave it a gentle squeeze.
Hurt her again and I’ll end you.

Lucas’ face lit up in a genuine, wide smile before he let go of her hand, hoping his smile wouldn’t cause her offense. “Good,” he replied softly and nodded firmly in agreement. “That seems only fair.”
She swirled around with the same fluttering butterfly-energy that Cecilia had and he immediately understood how they had become good friends.
Lucas wrapped an arm around Cecilia’s waist and stole a quick kiss on the top of her head, already feeling better. See, sarcasm! Sarcasm he understood very well and knew how to handle. It was different than the icy cold Maeve, but still scary enough. The whirlwind that was Evelina continued her little rant and poured herself a glass of wine.
Lucas let Cecilia drag him to the table to sit down and gratefully took his wineglass, hoping that the alcohol would at least soften the atmosphere a little bit.
His eyes focused on Evelina - she would be much harder to win over than Mono, he knew. Mono's ever so comfortable and warm vibe shone through the room as usual and he felt at ease knowing that he had at least seen some of the good times that him and Cecilia had shared before he had left. Evelina hadn't had that pleasure.
With a defeated smile he gently pushed the pizza with goat cheese towards the dark haired beauty. "Is it now I should say that we bought you goat cheese pizza? Cecilia tells me it's you favourite," he tried, trying not to laugh at how ridiculous it sounded. He sent a sheepish smile to Cecilia and wrinkled his nose slightly.

She breathed out and gave Mono a warmer smile, at least he tried. Evelina on the other hand, yes, she couldn't blame her for being protective - but she was a work of art. Once she had settled her mind on how things worked, they worked like that. Which was fun, considering the people she did forgive. You are an angel! she chuckled a bit and shook her head lightly. "You know it," she replied and took one of the pizza trays. Her face turned to Lucas as he chose to try the goat cheese way, even though claiming it might not do the trick. Either way the monster started eating, and she analyzed her body language to get confirmed the food settled her best friend's nerves a little. She shook her head as Evelina took a handful of Mono's fries. There were plenty - but there was always something about Evelina and stealing other people's food. She saw the look on Mono's face, how betrayed he looked. Honestly, with that look it looked like someone had just stolen his car or something. Food was a very important thing in this group.

So, Lucas Just by saying that Cecilia turned her eyes to her best friend, darting her eyes at her. Cecilia knew Lucas could speak for himself, and everyone here knew she had been a mess after he'd left. It wasn't a secret. However, she did choose to change or at least try getting Eve to talk about something else. "So - How is Cayden and Theobald doing Eve?" Cecilia picked up a slice of her pizza and took a bite. "You know Irina is coming by tomorrow, she had a daughter Theobald's age." She looked at Mono shortly before looking at Lucas. "She has two sons.. and they are absolutely stunning." It wasn't news, but just for a moment she pretended it was news, also because there was no way in hell she would make the mistake of letting Lucas ask Evelina about Garret. A way to every mother's heart was her children, in most cases anyways. Evelina was one of those cases - a dirty move? Maybe just a little. "She had Cayden call me earlier today, about an art project in school. He was so proud." Cecilia turned her head up to Mono and made a swift movement with her hand. "Fries, gimme-"

I am doing alright, thank you, what about you?
Lucas smiled softly and nodded as he spoke. "Can't complain," he replied; his voice filled with sincerity. He really couldn't. Things had just seemed to align for him. Cecilia had broken free of the bond she had shared with Ajax and the Siphoner and they had had some really good times just the two of them. He'd even slowly started to get used to her and her upping-and-disappearing-because-of-a-vision behaviour. Only a little though. And then out of nowhere Maeve had disappeared and they had all been brought back down a spiral of fear and worry. So many unanswered questions and way too little cues to make sense of any of it. It made him nauseous just thinking about it and quickly pushed the thoughts aside. He had promised to be positive tonight; it was a night mainly to distract everyone from thinking about Maeve, he knew.
Luckily Mono’s never-changing carefreeness and joyful little exclamations dragged him away from the dark thoughts, and he lowered his gaze with a smile to not-to-obviously signal that he found the whole ordeal funny and a little ridiculous.

Archenemy.
Lucas widened his eyes a little. Ouch. Evelina was clearly still heated about it. At least the presence of Mono seemed to cheer her up awfully quickly and he sent him a grateful smile. It felt oddly comfortable to be around such energetic people. He turned to Evelina with a soft, surrendering smile. “Ah yes. Cheap tricks are my speciality,” he muttered before straightening his back, just about to say something when Cecilia saved the awkward conversation. He lit up. “Oh yes! Cecilia showed me pictures,” he mused, his smile a little more enthusiastic than before. “You have very beautiful boys , Evelina.”

"All I know is that she hasn't booked a flight back to Sophia yet, so I guess she has the intention to stay here for a while," she informed and ran a hand over her hair shortly. Cecilia didn't really know Irina's long-time plan, but it was nice having some more family around since most of them had been in Bulgaria till a week ago. Her entire family was still quite in shock about the entire events that had happened in February. It was almost a month ago since Cecilia got out from the hospital after the link had been broken, it was insane how time just passed them so quick. "But I'm sure she would love if you bring the boys over one day," she pointed out not long after. Mila didn't have many friends her age, which was mostly because of the way Irina lived - but that was another story. Cecilia turned her head to Mono by his question and lightly rolled her eyes. "You know.. Irina from your local grocery store," she replied while taking the fries and picked up a few that she threw at him, "no genius, my cousin Irina," she chuckled while shaking her head a little bit. Cecilia turned her eyes to Evelina while eating a few fries, she moved her hand to the side with the box of fries offering Lucas some, while stealing a quick glance at him. Where is she? Is everything alright? Cecilia took a sharper breath in and looked back at Evelina again, reminding herself it was Irina they talked about and not Maeve. "Yeah.. no," she breathed out. "Like, she is alright. Everything is fine," she confirmed first. "She texted me this morning telling me that there had been some car trouble, but they are fine. They are staying with at Nigel and his sister Mariella's place" she took a slightly deeper breath in. Having your cousin crash at your ex-boyfriend's place was weird, but right now the least of her concerns. If she was at Nigel's there was a reason, and she knew Irina wouldn't bring Mila just anywhere without reason. "But its fine - as long as she is safe," she pointed out and picked up her glass of wine to take a mouthful. That was what she hoped for in the end, that everything would be fine again soon.

Now talk about cheap shots.
Lucas lowered his gaze to the plate in front of him, trying to hide his smile. It was never wise to smile at someone who wasn't exactly fond of you, but Evelina made it very difficult for him not to chuckle at her attempts of scaring him off. He sucked his cheek pursing his lips slightly to get rid of whatever smug smile had found its way to his face, before looking back up; portraying absolute innocence. Puppy eyed, he followed the conversation.
Although the conversation had felt slightly forced - without a doubt because it had been an attempt to lighten the mood a little - he couldn't help but to smile at the thought of Irina. Back in the days she had been the only person in Cecilia's immediate social circle whom Luke knew was part of the supernatural world. A werewolf. Mostly alone in this world he had bonded with her and shown her about other species.

Where is she? Is everything alright?
Dragged back to the conversation he turned to Cecilia with lightly knitted eyebrows. He had no idea why it was concerning that Irina was staying with this Nigel, and raised his eyebrow at his girlfriend. "Where is she gonna stay after that?" He asked, tilting his head a little. He kinda hoped she would move close. She had after all been a dear friend to him and they had kept in contact even after he had split with Cecilia. - At least after she'd gotten over his shitty behaviour. At least she had seemed to understand why he had left back then.

Where Irina was going to stay after was still a mystery to Cecilia and she made a small shrug. "I don't know - I told her she could stay here till she found a place, but  - I don't know if she will take the offer," she replied while looking at Lucas, then Mono's little hiss comment about it being that Nigel made her raise her brow a little bit. "Yeah, and hey, I know you are pissed about what happened back then. But just chill okay," she sighed a bit and didn't really want to discuss the whole Nigel thing, not here at least. It was just a major factor of her life that all her boyfriends had left her, why she was cursed like that, was a mystery. They all had their reasons that seemed to come to the surface, making her understand them, forgive them. Her relation to Nigel was different, he had saved her life two times - she trusted him, and they were friends now. They had agreed to be friends. "Her and Mila is in good hands. I trust Nigel, so just trust me on this," she breathed out and looked at Mono. She couldn't be angry at her best friend for being worried about a guy that had hurt her. She would have reacted the same way.

Cecilia was about to reply to more of the car trouble story when Evelina started talking. Started laughing. The first few seconds Cecilia just stared blankly at Evelina, like she had to process everything. The words were so true. It was like being stuck in some dramatic tv show, it was just few days ago Cecilia had dealt with the entire Michael thing. Everywhere they looked there was some dramatic shit happening. They needed to enjoy these moments, where they could just sit, drink some wine, and eat pizza. Even if it meant they would have to deal with the world tomorrow, they could do that. However, Evelina always had the ability to make Cecilia laugh, even when she didn't feel like laughing, so it was natural for Cecilia that she just suddenly started laughing and shaking her head a bit.

Outside Victoria walked closer to the house, knowing tonight was a friend day. Perhaps she just wanted to make sure Cecilia's friends didn't completely slaughter her best friend, so the best way to do that was by pretending there to be a few papers she needed to drop off. *Hey Luke, I'm just swinging by to drop some papers off for tomorrow* She communicated through her thoughts to Lucas as she reached the door. *And yes, I might have ulterior motives,* she chuckled by herself, and knocked a few times before stepping in. At least giving him a few seconds to assure the opening door to the house was alright. She after all knew that crazy things had happened here, and she wasn't going to disturb the piece. Victoria could hear the laughter making her smile as she stepped inside. Also, she really wanted to actually have a chance on talking and seeing this Cecilia her best friend couldn't stop talking about. "Hey, I'm sorry - I'm just here to drop a few things off, and I will be out of your faces again" she addressed from the entrance. She stopped for a second, she could swear the caught onto a familiar scent, not just Lucas' which made her chuckle not really at first knowing where it came from. Politely she took her shoes off not feeling like getting the floors dirty, then she made walked towards the living room with the folders under her left arm.

Lucas had to raise a hand to his mouth to not splutter out a laughter and spitting out the bite of pizza he had just taken.
This, this is just what the hell.
He dried his mouth with the back of his hand, sending a warm smile at Evelina. She wasn't wrong about that. He himself had had a pretty dramatic life, no doubt about that, but it had been pretty stable the past years and since Cecilia had come back it had just been one large spiral of crazy shit happening. It was probably the first time he had actually laughed about it. "What the hell, indeed," he replied, dragging a hand through his hair in disbelief. It was only a few day since he had met an Archangel and he still wasn't entirely sure that it had actually happened. He usually didn't mingle with powerful beings and had always steered clear of them, and now he felt like he had been dumped into a whole other world he had never explored. He was honestly just happy that Cecilia was okay and that they had talked about it and were okay again. Not that it had been a real fight or anything. Nothing like what they had used to do.

He politely ignored the talk about Nigel, noting down to at least ask who the guy was another day without her friends around, just to fully understand the complexity of what sounded like indeed a complex situation, when Vic's voice shot through the air and into his head. Hey Luke, I'm just swinging by to drop some papers off for tomorrow. He tilted his head in surprise, tensing his jaw a little. As soon as he heard her, he smelled her. He turned to Cecilia to quickly explain but didn't have the time before she knocked on the door and he had to flash an apologetic smile instead.
"Sorry guys," he muttered, excusing himself before pushing the chair back with a low chuckle. This would definitely be interesting. He looked at Cecilia and pulled a face. "It's Vic," he explained quickly. It felt weird going to open the door for his friend when it wasn't even his house, but he couldn't very well make her wait now could he.
Luke let out a warm laugh at her voice, shaking his head at her when she stepped in. You devil, he thought, sending the message to her. Play nice, will you?
He reached a hand out for her to hand him the papers before turning around to introduce her.
"Guys, this is Victoria," he said with a soft smile. "Vic this is Cecilia," he gestured to his girlfriend, sending her a cheeky wink, before turning to the other two. "Evelina and Mono." He gave his friend a gentle squeeze. "Stay for a glass of wine?"

Victoria handed Luke the papers with a cheekier smile. I'm always playing nice, she thought back with a light chuckle as she followed him into the living room. Looking around, first looking at Cecilia as she was the first presented and she gave the human a warmer smile - there was something familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. Then he presented the other two people.. Mono, wait? Vic! The joyful laughter made her turn around. Victoria didn't even get to think about what happened before she was lifted and Mono swung her around, she couldn't help but laugh by the event. First when Victoria was sat down again, she shook her head a little bit looking at him, when had he become this tall? "Same, oh my god, you look amazing," she complimented him. He did really look great. "And I'm doing great. I work with Luke at the academy, someone has to keep track on him," she looked shortly back at Lucas with a smile.

Cecilia much like Evelina was sitting there looking at Mono and Victoria. Her big doe eyes looked shortly up at Lucas trying to figure out if he knew that they knew each other. Then it hit her, she knew. She had met Victoria before. "Oh my, of course, jesus, it's been ages since I last saw you." Victoria turned her eyes to Victoria and nodded a bit. "Yeah, oh my god this is crazy." The shapeshifter laughed a little bit to herself then looked at Lucas. She couldn't really hold in her excitement of this discovery that was clear. "Mono and I used to date back in the day, just - it's been what nine fucking years, what are the odds." Cecilia chuckled a bit. This was like what Evelina had just said a while ago, like being part of some dramatic tv show where new events just kept showing up. Victoria took a deeper breath in, then turning her eyes to the one person in this room she didn't know, but still felt like she had seen somewhere and held her hand out. "Victoria, nice to meet you in the craziness." Cecilia moved her eyes from Victoria, to Mono, then at Lucas. "I will stay for the glass of wine, if that is okay with you?" Victoria then said looking at Evelina, then shortly at Cecilia and then at Mono. How could she not stay? "Sure, of course. Take a seat."

We both know that’s a li-
Lucas didn’t even finish his thought, before the shrieking voice of an over-ecstatic, superenergetic Mono, drowned his ability to think any thought whatsoever. Instead he just stared at them, dumbfounded and unable to catch up with what was happening in front of him.
You look amazing; no you look amazing - giggle, chuckle, big-smile.
Luke narrowed his eyes at them, trying to keep up with the excitable chatter fluttering over his head. He looked back at the table, still with the puzzled and slightly skeptic look on his face, catching the eyes of the girls who looked every bit as confused as he felt, before dragging his eyes back to his best friend and Mono, still looking at each other like they’d just found some ancient treasure. Vic made a comment about working with Luke and he finally managed to raise a hand, looking much like a lost schoolboy who hadn’t understood the teachers question. “Sorry, ‘scuse me! Uh. How do you guys know each other?” He asked; his own voice remarkably shrieky, although not reaching the level of Mono’s.

As the explanation came, Luke parted his lips, looking from Vic to Mono to Cecilia and back to Vic again.
“You what?!” He exclaimed, dragging a hand through his hair. Victoria had been dating Mono?! And Vic had met Cecilia?! All of this must have happened, what, potentially only a few months before Luke had met her? “No, hold up, this is too far fetched!” He squinted his eyes again, before spluttering out a surprised chuckle, turning back to Cecilia. “Are they saying that your best friend and my best friend used to date?!” He asked with a wide smile. “Holy shit!”
Luke regarded Eve as she continued sipping her wine, desperately wanting to drown his own confusion in the red wine on the table, stil not sure he'd quite understood the unlikely revelation. He made his way back to the table and placed himself behind Cecilia's chair, putting his hands gently on her shoulders. His eyes locked with Vic's for a second and he mimed a silent 'what the hell?' at her.

"They are very much saying that," Cecilia chuckled a bit and licking her lips. It was crazy news, but at least it was news that brought a smile upon people's lips. She placed her hand on top of his shortly as he placed himself behind her. Her eyes locked at her best friend asking Victoria away with questions, she understood why - it wasn't like they had ended their relationship on bad terms, things had just been complicated.

Victoria chuckled by Evelina's comment, "I might just take you up on that," she replied with a warmer smile as her eyes turned to Luke for a moment with a smaller shrug. Her head turned to Mono as he pointed out the world indeed was small. "We met back in 2017 on Southside, I let him crash in my trailer- and I haven't been able to get rid of him ever since," she chuckled a bit looking over at Lucas flashing him a big smile, "but it's alright, I wouldn't have it any other way." It was a short version of everything.

Holy crap!
Both Cecilia and Victoria looked at Evelina. Victoria frowned a bit, even more as her name was said, "yea?" She waited almost a little uneasy on whatever Evelina had to say. Then she mentioned Jack. "You know Jack?" She frowned a bit looking shortly at Lucas, could this night get anymore crazy? "Well, Jack, is being Jack. Him, Luke and I work together at the academy." Her started to recall the memories from back then, first when Jack had been arrested - Victoria had been a mess trying to get him out. And after getting threatened to end up next to him, she had never placed her feet back inside a police station again - or trusted people in the force. Not that she did that before either way, not since that time her and Mono had gotten into trouble. "See, this is the signs of a small world." Evelina was an officer and she was well aware that Evelina knew about the fact that Victoria and Jack were in a gang, but that Jack was now the leader was perhaps not the information she should flash the most in her face - not till she at least knew she hundred percent could trust her.

Cecilia lifted her wine glass to take a sip, taking in the information that was thrown across the room. Then she filled the glass back up and lifted it up if Luke felt the need to swallow the information as well. "Holy crap," she whispered underneath her breath in a low chuckle, leaning her head a little back looking up at Luke shortly. "This is insane," she whispered in a low giggle.
