Summary
“You do realise what you’re taking on, don’t you?” I said, trying to match his business-like tone. “If you really are going to insist on playing nursemaid until I can get back on my feet, that’s all very well and good, and I am truly grateful. But my reasons for leaving the company still stand and that’s not going to change. When I get better, I will be going back to freelancing, and you’re going to resent me, Lockwood.”
“I already resent you,” he said. “It makes no difference to me whether I do it from a distance or the comfort of my own living room.”
A bad case and broken leg leave Lucy no choice but to return to Portland Row until she recovers. Lockwood is definitely not using this as an opportunity to persuade her to come back for good, because that would be unfair. And he never plays dirty.
