Treatment - Act 2

Nancy's mother finally forces Nancy into attending a masquerade ball and presents Nancy with a glorious gown and mask so that Nancy has no choice but to go. Throughout the night Nancy's mum introduces her to different men who Nancy isn't interesting in talking to at all and is seen as coming across rude to which her mothers reply is 'Pull yourself together Nancy! There are so many fine men, why can't you give people a chance!' and then storms off huffing and puffing. Nancy's reaction however is just to shrug it off and grab a glass of champagne. Although, her mood changes when Nancy locks eyes with a familiar face as Will comes striding towards her with his recognisable smile. They talk all night and Nancy's mother looks pleased to see Nancy smiling for the first time since Rafe's death, a year ago. At the end of the night, Will casually asks Nancy if she wants to go to a banquet with him the following weekend as he can't think of anything more boring. Nancy agrees and spends the rest of the week planning an outfit for the banquet. 

The following weekend, the two attend the banquet together and Will introduces Nancy to his parents. Will comforts Nancy and they reminisce over the memories they each shared with Rafe, and Nancy finally begins to feel herself again. 

They spend their summer together and Nancy introduces Will to her parents. They spend it laughing about as Will isn't needed on duty all summer and they visit the lake where Will grew up and often sit by Rafe's grave to leave flowers and spend a moment.

Nancy is working as a dance instructor for her mother's dance school and even organises a dance show to be held at a large theatre near the dance school in Greenwich. She has become particularly attached to one little girl who's mother doesn't seem very interested in her and Nancy has noticed is often walking home alone and so has offered her a lift home. Whilst Nancy is busy rehearsing, Will using his artistic skills, designs the set for the show, and Nancy's mother designs the costumes with the help of Nancy also. They put the dance show in memory of Rafe and give it a combat theme.

However, throughout the summer together Will has been hiding something and although Nancy has been oblivious to this for some time, it suddenly becomes apparent.
