the next step
"the right time and the right place to take their relationship onto the next step."
wonderful.
Mother dearest = Incubator
I say that Lucy's incubator (a.k.a. mother dearest) got what she had comming!
Will "Mommy Dearest" have to wash the dishes, in order to pay for the meal?
Or will she get to experience Her Majesties hospitality for a night (or even the weekend)?
Or will the sperm donor bail his partner "in crime" out?
How high will the bill for the destruction of property (a.k.a. vandalism) be?
Unfortunately we will all have to wait until next Friday to see if these questions get answered.
I like this story.
In fact, I like it enough that I just went and read the first 4 chapters as well.

That was so cool
revenge really is a dish best served cold!
I love it.
This story is sweet. Lucy did the right thing, she should perhaps just have left earlier.
I think it is time for her to put "Mother" on the ignore list.

I will never understand...
I will never understand people like that, they have had next to zero input into their child's life, yet they act like they are the most important person in it. Usually it takes something this drastic to club them over the head before they notice that their so called 'pet project' isn't, and the ship has sailed without them on it.
Sigh... hugs to anyone who had to put up with that crap. My mother did that to me. from 12 to 26 she didn't even speak to me aside from on the telephone twice a year. sigh... she never got the hint even when I hung up on her. =]

Thanks for the comments and kudos
This chapter seemed to strike home with a lot of people and it got 100 kudos points with around 500 reads which is a record for me.
Thanks

What a crock!!
Lucy is packed off to school at age 5, she might see her parents three times a year, always packed off to school until she reaches an age where she'll not fit in with their plans for her.
They wanted nothing to do will her as a child and teen but do now. What a bunch of hypocrites. Lucy isn't a daughter to them, she's a piece of meat to use as they see fit.
Well that piece of meat has other plans for her life and they don't include her parents. Walking out on her mother was correct, rudeness doesn't have to be tolerated. And since mom picked the restaurant it's only right she pay the bill.
Lucy dragging Andrea out of the restaurant, basically spitting in moms' rude face, was the first time she took charge since getting with Andrea. Up to that point Andrea had been in charge.
What prompted Lucy to take Andrea to bed? Pissing off her mom because she refused to acknowledged Andrea? Because Andrea helped change Lucy's outlook on life? Help Lucy once again want to take care of herself? Or all of the above? Whatever the true reason, they have become partners who will help each other throughout their time together.
Wonder how Lucy will poke her mom in her other eye?
Others have feelings too.
Some astute observations
Sending your sprogs off to boarding school until it was time to marry them off originated in Victorian times. There is part of UK Society that still does this sort of thing. Then there are people from India (And other places) where arranged marriages are the norm (more of that later in the story).
As for Andrea being given the 'heave-ho'. That is part and parcel for some parts of the UK jobs market and totally legal. Once you have been employed for a certain amount of time then all sorts of rights kick in and it is really hard to fire someone unlike most parts of the USA.
