Summary
“Who is it then? Spit it out George,” I was getting annoyed and trying to decide whether or not I could hide in here and not even go to the damned door.
“It’s a gentleman caller,” George waggled his eyebrows. “If you can call him that.”
Out of the corner of my eye, Lockwood opened his other eye, sat up and pulled his throw off.
“I haven’t got all night you know,” A familiar voice yelled down the hall.
Apparently, now our visitor was in the foyer of our house.
“Bloody hell,” I stood up and smoothed my hair down as best I could. “What does he want with me?”
“Now that is the million pound question, hmm Luce…” Lockwood’s voice was soft and sleepy, with a tinge of something sharper that I couldn’t quite put my finger on.
I shrugged at him, squeezed past George and headed down the corridor to see Quill Kipps standing just inside our front door, toying with a marble statue on our hallway table. He had his back to me.
