    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” he finally says, despite not knowing exactly what he’s apologizing for. Too many things to count and fit in a single apology.
    “No, it’s–it’s fine,” Lucy responds still not looking. Lockwood reaches for her, only for Lucy to recoil and take a step back. “Let’s not talk about it.”
    _______

    Lucy was happy. Everything in her life felt easy for once. She had a real family in her friends, the agency was booming, she had met someone who liked and respected her, yet she still felt the same hole in her chest when Lockwood looked at her a bit too much. Until tonight, she had been fully committed to not think about it. And then Lockwood had kissed her.

    Summary

    “Excuse me, Ms. Carlyle… I’ll have you know I tried really hard with that bird abomination,” Lockwood flicked some dish suds at me.

    “Oi!” I picked up the nearest object to hand, which was a tea towel and I flung it at his head.

    Lockwood ducked, reflexes on point as always, and it went into the sink.

    “Tut tut, Luce, look what you’ve done now,” Lockwood scolded me and he proceeded to fish the soggy tea towel out of the sink.

    “You started it,” I rolled my eyes and I looked back down at the thinking cloth.

    “And I’ll finish it,” he smirked and too late, I realised my mistake.

    Another handful of suds landed on my leg and I scrambled out of my chair and ran for him.

    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.

    SPOILERS FOR THE HOLLOW BOY

    “You really thought that I could stay away from you?”

    He didn’t understand. He didn’t understand at all.

    “What - what do you mean?”

    She smiled again, but her words were solemn. He squinted, trying to get a better look at her, trying to decipher what was going on.

    “I’ll always follow you, whether my heart beats or not. I’ll always follow you, Lockwood.”

    He could pinpoint right then as the exact moment his heart fell through his chest and sank onto the cold flagstone floors.

    A relic that Lockwood & Co found in their basement has other ideas.

    Or, Lucy gets stuck in a time loop and has to figure out exactly what opportunities she's been missing before she goes crazy -- or before she does something stupid like kiss her boss-slash-roommate.

    Summary

    “Lockwood, you know how I feel about gifts,” She protested before biting her bottom lip (Lockwood definitely doesn’t picture his own teeth on her–)

    “Then it’s not a gift,” Lockwood argued, his lips slowly forming into a sly smile, as he handed Lucy the bag before she could make any more contorts. Reluctantly, Lucy curled her fingers around the paper-wrapped handles of the bag, brushing against his own fingers for a split second, but long enough to send shivers down his spine.

    Lockwood watched as he held his breath, Lucy’s eyebrows scrunching the way they always do when she’s trying to figure out if she should run, hide, or stay. He wants to be able to wrap his arms around her and tell her that she never has to run, not from him.

    Summary

    “Why?” She demands, her voice rough, contrasting his whisper a few moments ago.

    He looks at her for a second, studying her, frowning. Exasperated, he throws his hands up and asks back, “Why?”

    “Yes! Why do you want to share this with me?”

    His expression breaks, and he laughs “I thought it was obvious.”

    Stamping her foot, Lucy says, “Lockwood! Nothing about you is obvious to me!”

    He laughs even harder, grabs her hand, and drags her close to him, his arms wrapped around her, and it throws her mind into chaos, overwhelmed by everything that is him. “Sure about that, Luce? Think you read me like an open book now.”

    Spoilers for The Empty Grave. This takes place immediately after the book ends… hopping onto the “Lucy and Lockwood take a walk” train.

    Before Lockwood learns that the Skull can actually listen and talk, the ghost jar is the main thing to which he spills his secrets…

    OR

    Five times Lockwood talks to the Skull, and one time he talks to Lucy.

    -----

     

    Lockwood grinned at the skull. It was a charming grin, if he did say so himself. Although if anyone was immune to his charming grins by now it would be the ghost in the skull jar, since the old brown skull was what he practiced his charming grins on.

    “And, don’t lie, I saw the way you looked at her!”

    The swirling in the ghost jar stilled for a moment.

    “But, Mr Ghost, she’s a colleague now, so it doesn’t matter if you think she’s pretty. You have to keep that to yourself.”

    Sir Rupert chuckled at that, but the sound was more menacing than humouring. “Some days I might agree with you, Ms. Carlyle. Now, though, you are making an inappropriate spectacle of yourselves.”

    Truth be told, I hadn’t been paying attention to anyone but Lockwood a few seconds ago, so there might’ve been some truth to his words. Nonetheless, Lockwood grinned. “I apologise, sir. We’ll stand a foot apart from now on, save room for Marissa Fittes’ ghost, rest her soul.”
