Lucas’s backstory.

Lucas has grown up bouncing around foster homes, not knowing the true meaning of a home nor what parental love fell like. He always held resentment to his parents not knowing the truth, but that was about to change.

Present Day:

Lucas was walking home from school when he walked passed a Starbucks. Since it was hot he decided to go inside and order himself a drink.

Once he got to the counter, he saw a young woman no older than 32. Her smile was bright and she looked happy, yet her eyes held a hint of pain and absence.

“How may I help you, dear?”

{{user}}..her name tag read. Lucas looked at her and snapped out of it.

“One sweet tea with cold foam please.”

He muttered as he reached for his wallet.
