*Maggie takes a cautious bite of the quiche, followed by a sip from her glass.* Oh, 'tis really very nice, *she says, pleasantly surprised by the taste of it.

*Maggie laughs softly, more accustomed to his teasing now than she once was* Well, 'tis good yer hard work didna go te waste, then.
*She smiles, trying to focus on the pleasant novelty of sharing a meal with him, rather than the nagging feeling of uncertainty starting to form in the pit of her stomach*

*Maggie looks down at her plate again as they eat, falling into what she tries to assure herself is a companionable quiet and not an awkward one. Her mind keeps drifting back to last night, though, the voice she'd silenced then returning a vengance*
*She had thought, at the time, that they were going to . . . her face reddens once more. She nibbles at a strawberry, not sure what to think now*

*Bard finishes his quiche in a few bites and washes it down with the orange juice. He takes a bite of the fruit, chews it thoughtfully for a moment, then sets his fork down, thinking*

*It's better that they didn't, Maggie tries to tell herself as she eats. Isn't it? She can't afford to be irresponsible, not with a son at home to care for. It's definitely better that they didn't.*
*But still . . . in the heat of the moment . . . why hadn't they? She swallows a mouthful of quiche and chances a glance over at Bard, wishing she could just read his mind somehow*

*Bard takes another bite of his fruit, but as he chews it, he fades*

*Maggie had just opened her mouth to say something when Bard vanishes. Her face falls.* Be well, Bard . . *she murmers toward the spot where he was sitting just a moment ago, then bites her lower lip, still thinking*
*Hadn't he wanted to? Had she done something wrong? Disappointed him somehow? She'd never been with someone like this before. The way he had made her feel had been . . . amazing . . . but she . . . Maggie sighs softly. She can't help worrying that she may have let him down.*
*Eager to occupy herself, she finishes her breakfast and sets herself to the task of tidying up the room*

*Cleaning only serves as a partial distraction from her thoughts, and Maggie keeps turning them over in her head as she clears the desk and cleans the dishes. That done, she crosses the room to make up the bed, but halfway through, she fades out, back to the rain in Ainsford*
**Exit Maggie**
