Summary
“Why have you been acting like nothing happened?” She asked, doing her best to keep herself from escalating the conversation.
“I wasn’t actin’ like that.” Cooper shook his head as he looked at her in mild confusion.
“The last three days you’ve acted like nothing had happened.” she clarified.
“You got shot, Vaultie. And if I hadn’t gotten to you in time, that fuckin’ raider would’ve killed you.” his eyes darted to the bruises on her neck and Lucy watched his jaw clench slightly. “I was a little distracted tryin’ to find you a place to rest properly.”
After being attacked by raiders, Lucy finds herself questioning whatever had been building between her and Cooper.

Summary
—“You’re giving up your pretty ‘future of America’ for a monst—”
—She grasped him at the back of the neck, nails biting in with warning. “We’re in the new world, and this is how I want to walk in it. With you.”
—In the growing heat, with the rads churning around them and through Lucy’s blood, Cooper bent to the imagined taste of chems on her tongue.
After all is said and done with their families and with Vault-Tec, Lucy chooses to ghoulify herself to be with Cooper. For 40 years, they work their way through the wasteland, as civilization blooms again. A job gone wrong lands them in an abandoned vault with no escape. As their vials run out and they skid toward feral, Lucy, ever determined, won’t take the last one.
A vault was the refuge Cooper was denied, and a vault was where Lucy was to spend her entire life. They chose the surface together, but this vault will be their mausoleum—a last choice made hand-in-hand.

Summary
—“You’ve ridden something before, haven’t you, girl? That cousin of yours, maybe?”
—“Ridden?”
—“A man, Vaultie. You ever put a man on his back and mount up? Ride him proper?”
—“You mean sex with me on top? Do people really call it that? The health manuals—”
—“Don’t need the lecture, Schoolmarm. I’m askin’ if you’ve done it.”
—Cooper could feel her shrug against his back. “Sure. Haven’t most people?”
—“Can’t say I know how everybody fucks, but I’ve had a share of fillies in my saddle.”
—Lucy’s huffed breath was cooler and wetter than the desert air against his neck. “Nobody in my vault would have any idea what that means.”
—“But you do,” said he in a low voice, “now.”When Coop gets a hold of what passes for a horse in the wasteland, Lucy gets a riding lesson.
