Lucky leaned up to give Justin a quick kiss but as always he turned it into more. A minute later he came up for air. "You look wonderful darling. I've missed you so much. I have a carriage waiting outside. Shall we go have dinner somewhere?" He asked excitedly.
"Yes, that sounds…wonderful I will meet you out front as soon as I change. I have just a few things to take care of." She gave him the biggest smile she could manage. Then she turned towards her dressing room.
After Lucky had changed out of her dress, she rushed back onto the stage. The show was over, but she hoped he had waited for her. She ran onto the stage and saw a newsie sitting on the stage. "Spot!" She wanted to yell but it only came out as a whisper.
As she walked closer she realized that it was Jack Kelly. "Oh Jack, where is everyone?" She asked sitting next to him on the edge of the stage.
He turned and gave her a look that almost broke her heart. "Everyone headed home to make curfew after the show ended. How ya doin Luck?" He asked.
"I'm alright. Look Jack I'm sorry I didn't come see all of you. I just needed to think first. A lot happened before I left and I just needed to think." He had looked away. "Hey, I missed you something terrible Jack Kelly." She said hitting him on the arm.
"I know" He laughed giving her a hug. "I don't know how you could stand to be away from me this long."
"Well I would have come back sooner, but I was afraid your ego was still taking up so much space it would crush me!" She laughed. She almost really laughed.
"Why didn't you come back sooner Lucky. We all missed you. Some of us more than others…"
"Oh Jack so much has happened I just don't know." Lucky was interrupted as Justin came in the door.
"Haley darling, I've been waiting for…oh who is this?" Justin asked giving Jack a suspicious look.
"Justin Heathcliff I would like you to meet Jack Kelly. Jack was a very good acquaintance of mine from my days here in New York. Jack this is Justin, my fiancé."
"Pleasure." Jack said reaching out to shake Justin's hand.
"Well dearest, we must be going. I suppose we will be seeing you again Mr. Kelly?" Justin gave Jack's clothes a disgusted look.
"Oh Justin, we must go to the lodging house. You can meet all my old friends there. I haven't seen them in so long dearest. Please." She gave him her best pout.
""But we have dinner reservations dear…" Justin didn't look to upset over missing the opportunity to carouse with the riffraff. Damn it, Lucky thought, that used to work.
"Well tomorrow then. Maybe we could go tomorrow night? Yes that's what we'll do."
"But darling dinner with the Pulitzer's," Lucky interrupted him this time.
"No! I haven't seen my friends in too long. We will be there tomorrow. Plan a poker game for me Kelly!" She laughed and gave Jack a hug. "Tomorrow I'll stop by Tibby's, see you then Jack!"
As Lucky and her fiancé left Jack could only stare in shock. She had seemed almost happy but there was still something missing. He didn't know quite what to make of this but he knew he had better warn Spot. Great he thought just when I thought things were looking up.
Lucky sat in the carriage silently. She had almost pulled off the look of perfect happiness. Well she should be happy. She was engaged to a Heathcliff, he could take care of her. He loved her. Any girl would love to be in her shoes. So how come it still didn't feel right. And why hadn't Spot come to see her?
At the Manhattan Lodging House Spot was "Packing" his belongings. He didn't have much so it wasn't going to take him long. He would leave in the afternoon, right after he finished selling his papes.
"Whatcha doin Spot?" Jack Kelly asked him from the door way.
"I gotta get back to Brooklyn. I gotta leave. I'll go tomorrow. Right after I finish sellin."
"Aren't you gonna stay at see her? Don't ya even care where she's been all this time?"
"I don't know what your talkin bout Kelly, but your treadin on thin ice." Spot went to leave the room but Jack blocked his way.
"I know you care about her Spot. We all know you do so why is you'se leaving?"
"Yeah I care about her, I care about her a lot. But she's got a new guy now. She don't care about me no more." He said angrily.
"She's engaged Spot.." Jack said quietly.
"See what I mean. she's found someone knew. We never really had anything anyway, Jack. She loves this guy. She loves this guy like she never could love me"
"So, aren't you even gonna try?"
"I care about Lucky I ain't gonna get in her way."
"If you'se care about her you'll at least stay and meet the guy. Check him out Spot. Talk to Lucky. She wants to see you. And I know you want to see her."
"Alright Jacky-boy, I'll check him out. But I'm leavin for Brooklyn right after." Spot sighed to himself. Lucky was one of his best friends. He owed it to her to check this guy out.
