When Lucy receives Horace’s mysterious invitation to the Cloak and Dagger Club, she decides to go, despite knowing Frank would be there. If you were in her shoes, would you have made the same choice?
Absolutely. The group was famous and a great opportunity for her as a new author. She would learn so much from them. Why should her past relationship keep her from that? Yes, it would awkward and uncomfortable, but it had been years and could provide some much needed closure for her. She was still hurting over him and needed to move on.
Yes, I would have gone. This was a great opportunity to meet and learn from established authors. The fact that Frank would be there would probably be an incentive. It would provide an opportunity to check if there was any spark left between them.
Yes, since this club was highly regarded in the writers’ world. It was considered very selective so to be included would be an honor.
Yes! I certainly Would have accepted. She is an up and coming author and what an opportunity. Why should she let a failed romance stand in the way of her career and possible advancement opportunities.
I would have gone but I also would have reached out to Frank and let him know beforehand. If she had done that she wouldn’t have had to lie about knowing him and their relationship. She had to know he was going to be there.
Yes I would have made the same choice. Of course Lucy should go. It was a very prestigious group and she was an excellent mystery writer. It was an honor to be chosen.
Yes she went because it was an honor to be invited. But, she also loved Frank and was drawn to seeing him again even though he had caused her a great deal of pain. The lure of seeing him again was stronger than her fear. And, yes if I we’re in her shoes I would also have gone .
Absolutely I’d go. Regardless of Horace’s reason for inviting Lucy, this invitation got her into a position where her writing would be better recognized.
I agree, Lucy definitely needed to be there for all the reasons mentioned. It would have also given her personal recognition of her own talents. It was really unfortunate that Horace had such a devious plan about Lucy’s membership,
Calling Frank would have been a poor decision in my opinion. Being around him in a professional setting would either let her know she could keep it professional or let their romance be rekindled. My opinion.
Yes, I definitely would have made the same choice and accepted the invitation. It was such a fantastic opportunity for Lucy to become part of this group of writers. It would give her recognition, and her career would most likely benefit. I would have just told myself I would need to take a deep breath when seeing Frank again and deal with it!
I absolutely agree that I would have made the same choice. I felt that even though Lucy seemed a bit anxious, I felt that Frank’s being there was something that made her want to go even more, if she was being honest with herself. The honor of being a member of the prestigious writing society could not be turned down.
Yes! A chance to meet famous authors you admire, be in a group of like minded readers and writers, and maybe a chance to see if any sparks are still there with someone I loved and missed. That’s a big YES.
Yes - and this was a good demonstration of Lucy recognizing her own strength and talent and stepping out from behind others. It took courage and showed she was ready to continue to move forward and grow.
Lucy still had feelings for
Frank so of course she would go to find out wether he was with someone or possibly still had feelings for her. She also wants to know how seeing him might change her image of him.
Yes, I would definitely decided to go to the club meeting. I’d be too curious to stay away!
Yes, I would have gone, but I wouldn’t have liked my ex being there.
