Also, I think pretending like she had no connection to her family legacy is BS. Lucy was emotional, but she clearly stated her boundaries and her needs, expressed her feelings honestly, and Sierra continued to withhold her own feelings and desires until she wanted to get in the last word, tears down Lucy for her feelings and imperfect communication, then drops that awful and intentionally hurtful line about staying as she walked out. Why ask if she would stay when Sierra had *just* said she wasn't planning on it, then went on to talk about her plans in Boston, which is what she always did when the subject came up? She publicly implied to everyone important to Lucy that she didn't consider Lucy a serious gf, but that casual was good in her book. We can see/hear her thoughts and feelings to the contrary, but she expresses them to exactly nobody. Sierra gave zero indication of her true feelings, and whenever asked, even in front of friends and family, she clearly stated that she had no intention of staying. While Lucy was all sorts of wrong for the first half of the book, I felt like she got a bad rap in the second half.
