Since the last time William saw Henry, he was working on the Spring Bonnie suit and trying to figure out a way to incorporate the springlocks. William discovered that the springlocks could be very dangerous if someone ever intended them to be. William found that getting them wet would cause them to lock up and snap shut and if anyone was in the suit they would be dead within minutes. William figured he would have to be very careful because he and Henry would most certainly be the ones inside these suits. For a sweet guy Henry did come up with something that could be effective as a costume and robot but also double as a murder weapon. William chuckled at the different uses springlocks could be used for that would be less than family friendly. William checked his watch and saw that it was time to meet Henry at the construction site.
William and Henry met up a few times a week at the construction site to continue building the restaurant. A few times Margaret showed up to show off some possible songs they could use. Margaret would talk to Henry from time to time, but she seemed more interested in talking to William. William smirked remembering Margaret's interest in talking to him.
William arrived at the construction site to see Henry and Lucy. Henry waved excitedly at William while Lucy gave him a small smile. That's odd, William thought. He had expected Lucy to have glared at him again and try to intimidate him again but she didn't.
Henry sprinted up to William. "Hi William. Lucy said she wanted to stick around and see how our project is doing." Lucy gave a small wave. William gave her one in return while frowning.
"It seems you guys are making a lot of progress. I hope everyone else will be able to see all the hard work you are putting into this." Lucy didn't state one way or the other if she thought it would be a success like Margaret did on numerous occasions.
As William and Henry continued working, William noticed Lucy glanced him a number of times. William thought it was odd, but thought nothing more of it. William had hoped that they could've hired some construction workers to do the building and they could do the interior design as they needed, but they were running out of money. William continued to take wood and hammer nails into it.
After an exhausting day of construction, it was finally time to go home. "Well Henry I guess I'll see you later."
Before William turned completely around he heard a very quick, "Wait."
William turned to see Lucy rushing up to him. "Let me walk with you. Please." It sounded like a command more than a question. William heard Henry let out a deep sigh and saw him turn away.
William shrugged and gestured for Lucy to follow him. Lucy walked behind him without saying a goodbye to Henry. William and Lucy walked in silence for a few minutes until Lucy broke the silence. "I'm sorry."
William turned towards her with a puzzled look on his face. "Sorry?"
"I'm sorry that I judged you so quickly the last time we met. I didn't even get to know you first before I assumed what you're like. I was wrong about you."
"Wrong?"
"I assumed you were someone who couldn't be trusted. I've seen men like that all the time, and I assumed you were the type to step all over people and take advantage of the weakest ones like Henry. But I was wrong, you're not like that at all."
William was surprised to hear Lucy to refer to Henry as weak. That doesn't mean it wasn't true but he was so sure she had feelings for Henry. "What made you change your mind?"
Lucy took a deep breath. "Margaret."
"Margaret?"
"Margaret is my closest and oldest friend. She moved here not too long ago, and she had problems fitting in. I'm sure you've noticed but she's awfully shy and people always step all over her. I've always told her to stand up for herself but she's too scared. Music is the only thing that makes her confident. She has wrote so many original songs about her struggles and it helps her power through her negative thoughts. Then you found her, I've never seen her glow so brightly before. It's like she's a completely different person. I know you hired her to write songs for the restaurant, but finding someone who really enjoys her music makes her really happy. Thank you so much."
Once Lucy was done speaking, her cheeks reddened slightly. William cleared his throat. "You're very welcome."
Lucy then smiled at William. "I want to start things over. Like a brand new beginning for the two of us and our future friendship." Lucy extended her hand to William. "My name is Lucy. It's a pleasure to meet you."
William smirked and instead of shaking her and he kissed it causing Lucy to blush furiously. "William Afton."
