3 weeks later PJ found Maggie yawning at her desk before the days work had began.
"To much bed not enough sleep hey Maggs" said PJ on the way to his office.
"Not complaining" she smiled,
"So, when are you going to move in together?" it hurt him to ask, but she was more concerned that the others mught hear
"I didn't say anything was decided" she said lowering her voice.
PJ leant on her desk, she felt confronted but faced him "PJ. This is ridiculous, Do I ask you about the women you go around with?Why is it any concern of yours what I do?"
All he had to do was tell her, but he heard Chris Riley's cautions in his head, he couldn't not here.
Later that evening PJ was propped against the bar about to have a private chat with Chris when she got called away by another customer.And who should make their way in no other than Maggie Doyle looking gorgeous with her hair down to her shoulders and wearing a flattering Navy Blue suit.
"Maggs! What'll you have?"
"Nothing thanks, Roman's expecting me at the farm.Just picking up a bottle of red for dinner"
Chris was still busy while Maggie waited next to PJ a awkwardness had intruded into their friendship neither one of them wanted it, but there was no way around it these days they had to be talking about work to feel comfortable around each other.
"So, how about that Siobahn Kennedy, eh?" he tried.
"Yeah, qyite the personality" She replied chuckling.
Chris made her way over to them as Maggie ordered a bottle of red wine
"Woah, living the expensive life are we Maggs?" he said as Chris handed her a bottle of 'Passing Clouds Shiraz'
"Just because your taste don't run anything more than cardboard"
"At least I'm honest about it"
Maggie knew a hint when she heard one, especially when it camrcame from PJ
"Meaning?"
"Maggie, Kellerman isn't who he seems"
"PJ you never liked him" Maggie said handing Chris her money, Chris tried to shoot PJ a warning look but it was too late "Dammit Maggie, the guy's married"
Chris placed Maggie's change on the counter in front of her
"Your wrong, he USED to be married" Maggie said picking up her change
"He's second marriage Maggie and his 2 kids.."
Maggie froze and looked at Chris she shrugged her shoulders. Maggie face looked like she had been defeated turning on her heal she refused to look at PJ as she made her way out of the pub before PJ could say anything she was gone.
Maggie made her way to the farm arriving she stormed through the front door with the bottle of wine under her arm
"Bad day at the office?" Roman joked as he saw the unreadable look on her face
"Why didn't you tell me you were married?"
Roman's silence was complete proof that PJ was right about him "Well?" she asked coldly placing the wine on the table
"It wasn't important" Roman shrugged pouring himself a glass of wine
"Obviously not to you" Maggie said folding her arms
Roman leant down in front of her "Maggie look at me" he turned her chin with his hand "Carolyn my wife, we have an arrangement with each other but nothing more, but you and I, I love you I want to be with you"
Meeting his agonised gaze, Maggie tried to beleive him.
Maggie arrived home throwing her bag on the ground and slumped on the couch putting her headphones in she began to listen to music loudly, Gina emerged from her bedroom
"Maggie?" she enquired as she saw Maggie striding around not being able to sit still
"What?" Maggie yelled over her loud music
"What's the matter?"
"The bastard's married!" yelled Maggie.
"I've got Dave here"
"Another married bastard"
"He's getting a divorce"
"Don't blaim him" Maggie yelled "They all say that"
Dave was soon seen making a discreate exit.
