Lucretia Diana Medved (63) is the owner of a local bookstore, whom Adam often buys from. Lucretia married her ex-husband when she was 16, and promptly became a housewife. However, she was never happy in her marriage. She’d felt pressured into it, didn’t enjoy being a housewife, and didn’t feel anything for him. It took Lucretia twenty years to leave the marriage, and thirty more to find a name for what she was experiencing, when her niece, a queer activist, introduced her to the idea of aromanticism and asexuality. Since then, Lucretia has found solace in her identity, and has made it a personal mission of hers to make sure other young people don’t end up in the same position she did. She started her bookstore by herself (with the help of a large bank loan), in 1987, selling used, rare, antique, and local books, amongst others. She lives alone with her beloved cat Masha, who has recently had a litter of kittens.
