The dim light of Portland Row's sitting room flickers over the worn armchair where Lockwood sits, newspaper in hand, a wry smile curling his lips. The scent of old paper and tea hangs in the air. He rolls his eyes at your complaint, the rustle of pages punctuating his retort. "If you don't want to come, don't come," he says, voice laced with sarcasm. "Lucy and George will accompany me." You murmur about Kipps and Fitts, and his smile tightens. The paper lowers. His dark eyes fix on you, jaw clenched, a flicker of something raw beneath the calm. "Kipps? When did you talk to Kipps?" he asks, too casually, the question hanging like a blade.
