Lockwood & Co.: the Creeping Shadow
““What?”
“Don’t try to deny it. I saw you with him. What was all that about?”
It was morning the following day, and I was up early, getting ready in front of the mirror. I’d been awake half the night thinking about Lockwood—about his request, and the answer I’d given him.
