"Poor Sherlock, really," Lucy says as we make our way back. “Can’t believe you left him in the car.”

"It was a mistake. I forgot it but I’d never do that to my child."

For a moment I stop to look at the place, the decor is elegant and I think I still don't get use to it. Anyway it's been so long since the last time I was here and in a peaceful position.

It feels good to be back.

"So, did you have something to tell me?" I ask.

"Ehm, yes. But first, want something to drink? "

"Sure."

We walked to the kitchen. I looked at Sherlock while Lucy is looking for something to drink. She hands me a glass and then she sits on the kitchen island.

"Don't be mad at me, okay?"

She sounds nervous.

"What happened, Lucy?"

"I knew it was not a good idea but I guess I just wanted to prove a point," she sighed. "This week I've been distant, right?" I nodded. "It was Cassie's plan."

"Wait, what?"

"She told me it would be good idea to keep a distance from you and interact with other boys just to see how you reacted. She said it was a kind of 'test' to know what you feel and see if you care or not. "

"It's a good plan and I didn't enjoy it. I guess I approved, right?"

"I guess so, I mean, you are here and you said a lot of nice things. I'm happy with the result. "

Lucinda shrugs with a small smile on her lips. And I try to think about what she just told me.

"So it was on purpose?"

"Something like that. I was going out with Adam anyway, that was not on purpose but I asked Billy to help me."

"That Billy," I rolled my eyes. "I thought he was my ally."

"He told me that you threatened him, Harry, that was not right."

"But you're like... mine, sort of," I muttered with a pout.

"I'm not a toy. And you can't spend your life threatening people. "

"It works for me."

"You can’t do that forever."

I chose not to answer. I took a sip of my juice and Lucy kept her gaze on me.

"You are not angry, right?"

"Just a bit, but Cassie is pretty mean, does she hate me?"

"She doesn't trust you."

"I didn't think you were capable of this, Lucy."

I'm a bit disappointed but quite surprised about the whole situation.

"Me neither. I’m sorry, really, but in my defense I was just curious, I just wanted to know your reaction. "

If Cassie managed to convince Lucy to follow this plan Cassie could do anything she wants. She has mental power over the head of my girl. This is not good.

"Could you not do that again? Please? "

"I can't promise that."

I frowned, looking at her. She must be kidding.
