Maggie was right and Raylan hated it. Hated everything about this situation, hated everything about himself that made it more complex by daring to explore himself a little more freely. Why couldn't things just be okay?
Was he allowed that? He wasn't sure. Not really, not if he was being honest with himself. Which he didn't like doing unless he had to, it was uncomfortable.
He hums a note, knowing he couldn't let the silence stretch on too far.
"She's mad that I'm not home more-" Apropos of nothing outside of him being a general hazard to their relationship. "Did you see what Fitz said to her? About bein' married to me-" He huffs a crooked grin. It had been a high point.
Maggie pulls Raylan into her and kisses his temple. One advantage of
sitting in his lap is that she can reach to do that. Ultimately, it's his
choice. She's just concerned about floods taking that choice from him
before he gets a chance to make it.
But then she'll laugh when he brings up Fitz. "I love him, but he is
completely fucking ridiculous on a regular basis. I enjoyed reading his
conversation with Willa, yeah."
He smiles softly at the kiss. It was sweet and he would never get tired of the soft affection. He, like his daughter, was hard pressed to ask for it, but accepting it from trusted people was never a problem.
"It's interestin' to see him bounce off someone younger that doesn't get pegged with so much 'You're an adult, sort your shit' attitude like he gives the rest of us. I'm gonna be curious to listen in to whatever other conversations they might have. Wish I could be a fly on the walls for the ones you'll have with her too, I'm sure."
