Selfless Love

Chapter 2: In Which Lizzy Plots

Lizzy spent the days after her visit formulating a plan of attack. She didn't want to be too obvious, since Sebastian was shrewd and would surely pick up on her plotting. The plan could not be too convoluted, though. She was dealing with Ciel, after all. Smart as he was, he could be a bit dense at times.

She sighed. It was such a fine line to walk.

Idea after idea emerged, was considered and discarded. She had a general idea of what she wanted to do. It was the specifics that were stumping her. She was beginning to get rather frustrated. It was Friday already and she still wasn't certain how she was going to go about things.

Lizzy was just beginning to consider the wisdom of seeking advice from her friends when a sudden realisation hit. Of course! She had been going about this all wrong!

Her back straightened and her eyes narrowed as she finally began to fill out her plot.

A/N

Apology 1 – Sorry for how long it has taken me to post this. Everything is sorted now, and I'm back to my fortnightly posting schedule.

Apology 2 – I know this is an incredibly short chapter, but the next chapter is going to be longer than usual, so hopefully that will make up for it.

Thanks for your patience!
