"So I was trying to tell the guy that I wasn't interested but I…Maggie? Maggie?" Frankie snapped her fingers in front of Maggie's face, noting the vacant expression that was on her sister's face.
Sighing in frustration, Frankie turned away from the man she had been talking to and physically shook Maggie out of her stupor.
Blinking, Maggie looked at Frankie in confusion.
"Where were you?" Frankie asked.
"What?"
"You. Weren't you listening to a thing we've been saying?" There were times that Maggie's ability to take day dreaming to another level frustrated Frankie beyond belief. Which was saying something, since Frankie was quite the daydreamer herself.
Instead of answering Frankie, Maggie blinked, noticing that there was somebody sitting with them on the bench. "Who are you?"
Laughing,
"She looks sad." Maggie whispered, surprised when she found herself wanting to rid the woman named Bianca of any sadness.
Frankie, also surprised at Maggie's words, turned to stare at her sister. She had seen that look on Maggie's face before, and it never brought great results for Maggie or Maggie's heart at the end.
"Forget about her, you'd never stand a chance." Ryan spoke when he noticed who it was that Maggie was actually looking at.
"Is that so?" Maggie asked, her eyes never leaving the woman who stood in the balcony.
There was something about the brunette that drew Maggie to her, even though she had never formally met the stranger. Maggie knew that there was something unique about the woman.
"That's Bianca Montgomery, daughter of Erica Kane." Ryan stated, as though the very names would be enough of an explanation.
When he received no sort of indication of acknowledgement at the names, he realized that maybe it required more than just names. "Erica Kane is famous for her love of money. The only reason why she's even bothering with the Titanic is because her oldest daughter's fiancé offered to pay for the trip at his own expense."
"And you know all this…?" Frankie trailed off, a bit put off by Ryan's vast amount of knowledge of this Erica Kane woman and her family.
"Let's just say, I've got a personal interest in it all."
