"How's it going?"
Maggie glances up at the blonde in front of her and answers "Fine", before taking a sip of her tea and staring out the window of the small café.
"And by fine you mean-" "Penny." Maggie puts her mug down and sends a hard glare at her friend.
"What?" Penny says matching her tone, "You disappear, then come back to tell me you found a new apartment and you're thinking of finding a new job? I mean what else could it fucking be Mags?"
"I'm not pregnant." Maggie sighs and fixes her eyes on the street; pregnancy always seemed to be Penny's conclusion. "Does it belong to the guy who came looking for you?" Penny asks.
"I'm not pregnant." Maggie repeats. She doesn't mention that she has moved in with him, male roommates were forbidden in Penny's rulebook.
"Than why?" Finally, she drags her eyes up to meet Penny's. "I can't live like this. Not forever."
Penny softens, "You're only 25, honey there are much older broads on the street, look at me."
"It's not my age Pen." Maggie says, "I'm just tired of it."
"What," Penny mocks, "You wanna settle down, have a couple kids, live the suburbia dream?"
Maggie does not tell her friend yes, that she wouldn't mind getting out of the city. That, despite the fact that it was once so exciting; she was bored of it now. She didn't tell her that she missed her broken family and wished she could take back her last name. She doesn't mention the reason she moved in to Max's apartment or why she wants to quit being a hooker.
Because this is Penny Lane and you simply do not tell her these things.
So instead Maggie laughs, shakes her head, and the conversation is swept under the rug.
A/N- So I went 3 words over on this, but I doubt you're going to complain.
And yes a minor look into Maggie's life! Now you know her age and that she has friend. yay progress!
Oh and for refrences sake Max is 24 and the time is 1972-1973-ish
