From:

"Come," the great goddess calls from besides the fire in the great hall of Cair Paravel, startling Lucy, although afterwards she felt rather silly to think she could have hidden from the Lady at all, "come and join me, Daughter of Eve."

Lucy didn't try to pretend to be solemn, like her siblings sometimes tried before the Lady, and skipped over to plop down besides the hearth fire. She took a deep breath and smelled the crackle of firewood, but also the Lady's scent of spices and herbs. Lucy loved sitting besides the Lady like this; it was as cozy as sitting in a kitchen when someone made the best tasting food in your life, that would warm you all the way to your toes, and leave you with the sweetest feelings of love and care.

She hoped the Lady liked her just as much as she laid her head in the Lady's lap. Of course, if she had asked, the Lady would have laughed and said of course she did--she was, after all Hestia of the Hearth, the protector of the home and all how dwelt inside, and how could she not love all of her children?
