That night

Harry set out a sheet of paper, dipped his pen in the inkwell, and paused. What the bloody hell was he thinking? If he went against Lucy’s wishes and contacted Wargrove, she would never forgive him, and she would be justified. It wasn’t his decision to make.

He’d known it was wrong before he trimmed his pen, but he’d been worried about Lucy and her grandmother since he’d learned they lived in one of the worst neighborhoods in London. Just thinking of her walking in the dark made him wild with fear. He also worried about Mrs. Longmore. Lucy had told him their neighbor Mrs. Green looked in on Lucy’s grandmother during the day, but that only reminded him that Lucy would be all alone if God forbid something happened to her grandmother.

That, however, did not give him the right to intervene on Lucy’s behalf with Wargrove. In truth, she had good cause to be wary of the man. She knew very little about him, and what she did know was not positive. Yes, there was the possibility that matters might have changed after all these years, but it was equally possible that Wargrove would refuse to acknowledge his granddaughter. After all, the man had not even deigned to open a letter from Lucy’s mother.

Harry had to consider the emotional impact on Lucy as well. What would happen if Lucy met Wargrove and he refused to recognize her as a family member? She would be devastated. Her father had failed her and God help him so had he. The last thing she needed was another man to disappoint her. If she would agree to marry him, he’d get a special license tomorrow, but she had misgivings and fears that it would hurt his family. He didn’t believe it, but she did. Regardless, the worst thing he could do was to take matters into his hands without consulting her.

What he needed to do was persuade Lucy that they could be together. He must prove to her that he could scale that invisible class wall without hurting anyone in either of their families. He had no illusions about her resistance, but he’d sworn to make her his. He mustn’t let doubts deter him.
