The summer of the last London Season before the war. Carson has left for London leaving behind a birthday present for Mrs. Hughes, asking for a decision.

Mrs. Higgins and Eliza have a talk. "He proclaimed emphatically that he could do without you, that his soul was his own. Knowing Henry, he meant precisely the opposite."

Mrs. Nightwing tries to escape her problems, but even that has consequences. A night of reflections and resolutions. Oneshot, rated for use of alcohol.

[But deep down she knew. She knew he was gone. But she tended to block out reality for her own fantasies.] Lillian Nightwing finally realizes why she has never been truly happy.

A little taste of Nightwing, oneshot. Ever wondered what goes in Mrs. Nightwing's mind? Well, I did, so that's how this oneshot came to be. I wrote angst and tragedy before..and I found I can write it quite easily. Leave a review!
