Maggie was just popping home for a shower and change of clothes before going back out to David's cabin.
She detoured to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat and instead found Reese sitting at the counter with a cup of coffee.
She stalled in her step and smiled.
"Hi." she said.
Reese looked up but she wasn't smiling.
"Hi stranger." she said. "It's been a while."
"Not really." said Maggie lightly, stepping over to the fridge in search of a snack healthier than her recent diet of take out.
"No." said Reese, turning on her stool to follow Maggie with her eyes. "I haven't seen you in over a week. One minute you are saying that we're going to try and make it as a couple and then I never see you."
Maggie looked up and met Reese's eyes.
"Has it really been a week?"
Reese nodded.
"Oh, I'm not putting all the blame on you." she said, "I've been busy at the cabin and with Glamorama too"
"We're both busy people."
"So do you think we should try and do something to fix it?"
"What do you suggest?" Maggie asked, closing the fridge door empty handed, and stepping closer to Reese.
"We could go out for dinner." suggested Reese. "Or do have plans for tonight?"
"I was going to go back to David's and help him with Leora."
"He couldn't spare you for one night?"
Maggie caught the pleading look in Reese's eyes. In honesty Maggie knew that David was growing increasingly impatient with her being under foot, she just worried about him.
"Yeah, he can spare me." said Maggie.
Reese's smile finally appeared.
"Good." she said, "We'll get changed and go out on the town."
"This is important to you?" Maggie asked.
Reese nodded.
"I don't want to repeat the same mistake I made with Bianca. You can't have a relationship if you don't make time for each other."
Maggie stepped close enough to put a hand on Reese's knee. She then leaned in and kissed her.
"Then we'll make time." she said. "I honestly had no idea it had been over a week…"
