Lockwood set his tea down. For a moment he looked around the room. ‘I’m not sure this is really the place for you, Lucy.’ ‘Surely that’s my business.’ ‘Yes, yes, of course it is. And I’m not here to try to talk you out of it. I tried and failed at that months ago. You made your decision and I respect it.’ I cleared something in my throat. ‘It was the right thing to do.’ ‘Well, we’ve been down that road.’ Lockwood brushed his hair back from his eyes.
