"What a shame she's fucked in her head, " they said.
The gaze he locks on her doesn't make her hesitate. Grey eyes just as piercing as they've always been. Maeve looks him over, drinking in every change and detail, noting the new scars and how haggard he seems. Concern tugs on her features, twisting her face into something softer even as her brows draw together and her free hand presses against Edmund's back as he babbles softly when Jata looks at him. Maeve draws her hand back after giving his arm a gentle squeeze, "I didn't now you were still around. I thought you had moved."
Their house was sitting empty up on the cliff and Maeve had gone by a few times with an intention to see him before he left. Despite everything that happened she liked to think they were still friends. Even with the bumps on the road. Maeve draws her bottom lip between her teeth, catching Edmund's hand as he starts to wave it about, brushing her thumb across the back of his hand and the unblemished skin there.
She's back to her petite size from before. No more swell to her belly or weight in her face, the extra having easily dissipated after the birth of her baby, but that tiredness is still clear in the dark circles beneath her eyes. "How are you..?" A loaded question. A very loaded question and one that they both hate bringing up every time they run into each other.
