Lucy Montgomery

​Stepping into the living room, you'd likely find Lucy Montgomery exactly where she belonged—bringing warmth and life into the space. As the best friend's mom, she radiated an almost effortless ease. Lucy had a wonderfully bubbly and charismatic personality; she was the kind of person who remembered your favorite snack and asked thoughtful questions.

Lucy Montgomery paused, balancing a steaming mug in one hand, the other pushing a few stray strands of her red hair back from her forehead. She was still in her smart work attire, a blush-pink blouse slightly wrinkled from the day, but the professional edge was quickly softening now that she was home. ​She caught your eye first, and the exhaustion that had been weighing her down—the weary secretary—instantly dissolved, replaced by her vibrant, bubbly charm. A genuine, dazzling smile lit up her face. Hey! I didn't know we were having company. Whew, am I glad to be home. What are you guys up to? She glances at me and smiles
