    Summary

    Lucy Carlyle left, and Lucy Carlyle's back. She's explained herself, and they've agreed to go back to normal. So why does she feel the need to creep down the stairs towards Lockwood's door at nearly 4 in the morning, incredibly sleep-deprived and intent on apologizing?

    And why can't she knock on the door?

    Or, Lucy's trying to make things go back to normal with Lockwood after she returns to Lockwood & Co. An old argument, an old newspaper, and a new vulnerability help things along.

    Summary

    In the relatively short time she's been at Lockwood & Co, Lucy Carlyle has faced more than her fair share of stressful situations -- insane relic auctioneers, a talking skull, a massive ghost ready to swallow her and George up, and have uncomfortable amounts of mixed-up feelings for her boss-slash-colleague-slash-flatmate.

    And while the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a storage room -- or a closet, or an elevator, or his bedroom -- with him, she figures that if he's going to undress her with his eyes, he might as well get his hands involved as well.

     

    Or, Lucy's inability to keep a pure mind around Lockwood is matched only by his desperation to keep his hands to himself. And that's before she kisses him and runs away.

    Summary

    Jessica isn't Lockwood's only family secret. He also has a little brother, James, who's been in care since their uncle's death. Lockwood is determined to have his brother live with him, but it's hard for a teen to get custody of a child and even harder for an agent. So much depends on whether he can make the company a success.

    Summary

    It was beginning to dawn on me that the only way I was ever going to get out of this was to let Lockwood misunderstand my motives completely. Could I do that? Sacrifice his good opinion of me for his life? I stared into my cold cup of tea and saw the hollow boy again, his ruined chest, his empty eyes. Of course I could. I would do anything to avoid that future.

    Lucy and Lockwood's famous talk after The Hollow Boy.
