A few days had passed since Coriolanus and Livia finalized their divorce, clearing the path for Lucy Gray and Lumi to step into the picture.
Not only that but Lucy Grays injury was healing nicely, while they were already busy planning their engagement party, he was eager to tie the knot swiftly and avoid the complications of having another child outside of wedlock.
Lucy Gray, in her preparations for the engagement party, envisioned a celebration that seamlessly blended elements of her District roots with the opulence of the Capitol. She insisted on incorporating primroses, Lucy Gray also proposed having a band perform, aiming to recreate the lively and heartfelt music that echoed through the hob.
Despite Coriolanus' initial doubts about incorporating too many District vibes into the engagement party, Lucy Gray reassured him that it would add a unique charm and authenticity to the celebration.
She believed it would be a beautiful blend of their different worlds, creating an event that was not only opulent but also meaningful. With Lucy Gray's confidence and vision, they continued to plan the engagement party, each detail carefully considered to reflect both their Capitol and District backgrounds.
While they were engrossed in party preparations, Lumi diligently practiced a piece on the piano, gearing up to serenade her parents at their engagement celebration. However, the added pressure of making a speech weighed on her mind.
The realization that she was now a public figure, a reflection of her father's choices, intensified her nervousness. The spotlight was on her, and any misstep would not only affect her but also cast a shadow on Coriolanus Snow. The weight of responsibility settled on her shoulders, and she knew she couldn't afford to let her father down.
Lumi continued practicing the piano, absorbed in the melodies, when a knock on the door interrupted her.
Approaching cautiously, she opened it to find an avox, silently revealing a woman who bore a striking resemblance to her father.
To her surprise, she was greeted by a burst of vibrant energy as Tigris, her aunt and cousin of her father, stepped into the room. Tigris was a vision of vivacity with her blonde hair cascading around her shoulders and a lively pink outfit that seemed to embody her bubbly personality.
The room instantly brightened with her presence, and Lumi couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and curiosity in the air.
Lumi, looked at Tigris with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
"Um, hi? Are you... family?" she ventured, unsure of how to address this unexpected encounter.
Tigris beamed and nodded enthusiastically, "Absolutely, sweetheart! I'm Tigris, your Aunt Tigris, your father's cousin. It's so lovely to finally meet you!" She extended her arms for a hug, and Lumi, though slightly taken aback, reciprocated tentatively.
Tigris pulled back, still smiling, "Your dad told me you're quite the musician. I can't wait to hear you play at the engagement party. It's going to be spectacular!"
Lumi, still processing the sudden appearance of this lively relative, managed a small smile.
"Uh, thanks. Nice to meet you too, Aunt Tigris."
Coriolanus entered the room, his eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Tigris and Lumi standing together. "Tigris! What are you doing here so early?" he asked, a mixture of confusion and curiosity in his voice.
Tigris giggled, "I thought I'd surprise you and finally meet the famous Lumi. She's just as wonderful as you said!"
Coriolanus glanced at Lumi, who offered a sheepish smile.
