Why not

Lucy couldn't stop herself from smiling when she left the office, she had wanted to return for ages and now she was finally showing signs of recovery. She was looking forward to having more normality and structure in her life.

Lucy approached Angela to tell her that grey approved it,

"That's so good Lu, I'm so proud of you."

"Yeah well done Lucy," John added.

"Lu I'm finishing up in 20 minutes if u want to wait for me?" Angela suggested.

"Yeah sure, can u grab me from Tim's office when you're done please?"

"Yes darling."

Lucy walked off and Angela continued organising the cases with John.

"I'm going to get Lucy to come to do the weekly food shop with me," Angela explained.

"That will be nice."

"I'm really worrying about her eating, have you noticed how slim she's gotten?"

"Honestly it was only when she stayed at ours last night that I really noticed because she was wearing a tank top, and baileys mentioned how she doesn't really eat."

"She's been like it since being pregnant, I want to speak to her about it but I'm scared I'll ruin her progress." Angela sighed.

"Maybe once she's back at work and spending lunches with us it will get better." John suggested.

"I really hope so,"

Lucy was sat talking to Tim when Angela entered, she had already grabbed her coat and bag.

"Lu I need to grab groceries on the way home."

"Alright,"

"Maybe you can pick some foods you like?" Angela suggested.

"Uhm maybe yeah,"

Once they arrived at the store Angela went and grabbed a cart, Lucy hadn't been shopping in months. On the way there she had been planning the pods she was going to pick out. She followed Angela around each of the aisles, every so often Lucy would add something to the cart.

"What shall we have tonight for dinner?"

"I don't really mind Ange,"

"How about we do pizzas?"

"Yeah sure, please may I have pepperoni."

"Of course Lu, have whatever you want."

By the time they had finished Angela was confident that Lucy had picked food that she actually liked, after checking out Lucy helped Angela to put the bags into the trunk.

Whilst driving home the two sat in peaceful silence until Lucy broke it,

"I'm scared Angela."

"What's wrong darling?"

"Whenever my life starts to get good something bad has to happen."

"Lu even if something does happen I feel like you have grown so much as a person and will be able to get through it without going back to old ways."

"You really think?"

"I really do, now have you decided if you're doing a party with Tim?"

"Yeah let's do it, why not?" Lucy smiled.

"Shall we invite Tim over tonight to plan it?" Angela suggested.

"Go on then." Lucy could see how excited Angela was when she said yes.
