Lucy was still in a daze as she left Jude's hut. No matter what strange things the island did, never would she have expected to see what she'd just seen; even thinking about it more, she couldn't make any sense of it. It would be easier to talk about, though, once this whole thing with telling the truth had passed.
Until then, even with Max at Jude's, just about the last place she wanted to be was their hut. It could only get more awkward, and after nearly a month, she figured, maybe it was time to give him some space. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about her getting in the way of whatever it was they thought they were doing.
She'd never felt like she needed to take Gert up on her offer of a place to stay, but almost without realizing it, the 'Treehouse of Awesome,' as Gert had said it was called, was where she wound up. It wasn't yet late enough that she thought she'd be disturbing anything, but still, she was hesitant, and rather than let herself in by the ladder, she rocked back on her heels and tilted her head up. "Hey, Gert?" she called, trying to force a bright tone, though she was fairly unsuccessful in it. "It's Lucy."
