**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 11 00:01:31 2024 Feb 11 00:01:31 I do disapprove. Women who conduct themselves that way are unnatural and ungodly. It is disgusting. Feb 11 00:03:36 All I said and thats what you reply to... I see. Feb 11 00:05:30 I will hold my tongue, for everyone else’s sake, but women like that are common strumpets. Feb 11 00:05:48 * Morgan tilts his head Feb 11 00:07:20 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Feb 11 00:10:48 You've already judged and condemned your own daughter as a common strumpet... yet you were forgiven... do you not think its time to earn that? Feb 11 00:11:54 * Martha looks deeply unimpressed by this “I understand you want to protect this woman, but you go too far.” Feb 11 00:13:22 No, mama, I don't think I do... Feb 11 00:14:53 I was wrong with Molly, she had not been sexually immoral, but this woman has. Feb 11 00:16:42 You complain she is ungodly yet refuse to forgive, and continue to judge and condemn, exactly as the book tells us not to... that is hypocrisy, mama. Feb 11 00:19:47 She has sinned, and I do not have to approve of that. Her salvation or lack of is between her and The Almighty, but it is sin nonetheless Feb 11 00:20:13 Precisely it is between her and Theus... for him to judge... not you, nor I Feb 11 00:21:26 Have I not agreed to say nothing already? Feb 11 00:21:40 * Morgan sighs Feb 11 00:21:48 My mother will need your support... Feb 11 00:22:53 I will support her, naturally Feb 11 00:23:16 * Morgan nods, looking at her seriously Feb 11 00:23:39 I love you, mama, deeply and fiercely. I don't wish to be at odds with you Feb 11 00:24:40 * Martha nods Feb 11 00:26:35 Nor I with you. My concern is that such easy women can make men discontented and prone to wandering eyes, hands, and hearts. I would not wish that to befall you or any of your guests. Feb 11 00:26:58 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 11 00:27:34 That is not the situation... it is complicated and painful, but there is no danger or desire for her to come between Edward and Mina... nor anyone else, on anyones part Feb 11 00:29:49 As the Holy Book says, any man who even looks at a woman with lustful thoughts has already commits adultery with her in his heart. Impure women tempt men, and all and sundry know from her maternity that she is such a woman. Feb 11 00:30:31 * Morgan sighs Feb 11 00:30:47 We are clearly not going to agree on this... but like it or not, she is being welcomed into our family Feb 11 00:31:59 It is not my place to disrupt that. Feb 11 00:32:12 No... I need you to help make it easier Feb 11 00:34:03 I will support your Mother and your Sister Feb 11 00:34:29 * Morgan nods Feb 11 00:34:36 Alright then Feb 11 00:36:04 * Martha nods Feb 11 00:36:19 You will be careful with her, won’t you? Feb 11 00:36:43 She is far stronger than you give her credit for Feb 11 00:38:14 No, Morgan. You’ll be careful with this Alice, won’t you? Feb 11 00:38:59 Mama, my attention will never stray from Molly Feb 11 00:40:15 * Martha nods “I pray for that, for you and my other sons” Feb 11 00:40:56 It is not needed. Alice and I share a love for the sea, and we care for eachother as family does... thats all Feb 11 00:44:20 * Martha nods “temptation is everywhere, I am sorry to say. I just ask that you be mindful of it. Heinzharold too, he’s a sweet boy, but too pretty for his own good. Emmilene worries for him too” Feb 11 00:44:37 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 11 00:44:43 You both worry needlessly Feb 11 00:46:40 * Martha nods “It’s a Mother’s Prerogative” Feb 11 00:47:14 * Morgan nods Feb 11 00:47:18 I suppose so Feb 11 00:48:21 * Martha nods Feb 11 00:48:46 You’re taking good care of my Moll though? Feb 11 00:49:01 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Feb 11 00:49:05 You need to ask? Feb 11 00:50:07 No, I know you love her Feb 11 00:50:24 * Morgan nods Feb 11 00:50:58 We should rejoin the others Feb 11 00:51:57 * Martha nods, following him Feb 11 00:52:32 * Morgan lets her back into the parlour Feb 11 01:47:58 * Martha has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 11 01:53:58 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 11 14:47:40 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Feb 11 16:49:51 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Feb 11 16:50:05 You both worry needlessly Feb 11 16:50:05 * Martha nods “It’s a Mother’s Prerogative” Feb 11 16:50:05 * Morgan nods Feb 11 16:50:05 I suppose so Feb 11 16:50:05 * Martha nods Feb 11 16:50:07 You’re taking good care of my Moll though? Feb 11 16:50:09 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Feb 11 16:50:11 You need to ask? Feb 11 16:50:13 No, I know you love her Feb 11 16:50:15 * Morgan nods Feb 11 16:50:17 We should rejoin the others Feb 11 16:50:19 * Martha nods, following him Feb 11 16:50:21 * Morgan lets her back into the parlour Feb 11 16:52:25 *Varick has commandeered the bird and the cat, and they’re sat one on either side of Verity. He’s telling her all about how they like living in Hafenlohr now but they do miss the sea* Feb 11 16:53:59 * Morgan sits down Feb 11 16:59:29 Ah, I see you've met Bir and Captain Ulysses Feb 11 17:00:02 Ve: I have. Edward and Mina said they would see us all at dinner. Feb 11 17:00:15 * Morgan nods Feb 11 17:00:29 Ah, I forgot I need to arrange something... will you be alright for a few minutes? Feb 11 17:02:32 *Verity smiles* Of course we will, won’t we Martha? We have our grandson to entertain us Feb 11 17:03:01 * Morgan nods, getting back up and letting himself out, going to the nursery and knocking quietly Feb 11 17:04:37 * Molly is now known as Alice Feb 11 17:04:49 Come in, Morgan Feb 11 17:05:45 * Morgan goes in Feb 11 17:05:49 How'd you know it was me? Feb 11 17:06:00 Just how you knock Feb 11 17:06:10 thats... observant... Feb 11 17:06:26 *Florrie knocks on the table she’s playing on, the way he does* Ballhead. Feb 11 17:06:47 Huh... most people wouldn't notice that Feb 11 17:07:01 *Florrie does Edward’s knock* Vati *then Molly’s* Lee. Feb 11 17:07:26 * Alice smiles Feb 11 17:07:38 Alright, I admit, it was Florrie that showed me Feb 11 17:07:53 Ah... that makes more sense Feb 11 17:08:03 * Morgan taps on the table like HeinzHarold would Feb 11 17:08:31 F: *she doesn’t even look up* Arold. Feb 11 17:08:58 Clever girl Feb 11 17:12:37 F: *She knocks again* Inga Feb 11 17:13:16 * Morgan watches her Feb 11 17:13:30 Thats very impressive sweetheart Feb 11 17:14:23 *Florrie smiles, moving to sit on his lap with her doll* Feb 11 17:15:03 Maybe learn a new one tomorrow Feb 11 17:15:21 F: Who knock? Feb 11 17:15:56 Maybe my mama Feb 11 17:16:20 F: Come see me? Feb 11 17:17:44 And aspen Feb 11 17:18:50 *Florrie smiles* I make Aspen look smart Feb 11 17:18:56 * Morgan nods Feb 11 17:19:05 Tomorrow. Your Vati will help Feb 11 17:19:57 F: *she nods, yawning* Feb 11 17:21:05 * Morgan smiles, moving closer to Alice and speaking quietly Feb 11 17:21:19 Once she's in bed, I'll introduce you to mother Feb 11 17:24:34 * Alice nods “soon” Feb 11 17:24:54 * Morgan nods Feb 11 17:24:59 Where would you prefer to meet her? Feb 11 17:27:32 I don’t mind. I just don’t want to make anything more awkward for anyone Feb 11 17:30:33 I can't promise my mother in law won't be a little... off... she can be very judgemental Feb 11 17:34:28 * Alice nods Feb 11 17:35:26 We've had words about it... she's promised to keep quiet Feb 11 17:38:28 * Alice nods “She wouldn’t be the first to judge me for it” Feb 11 17:41:39 * Morgan nods Feb 11 17:41:59 Tomorrow, we'll have her meet Florrie... Edward and Molly will help you with that Feb 11 17:43:47 * Alice nods Feb 11 17:44:06 Alright. How should I approach it tonight? Feb 11 17:45:25 Meeting mother? Feb 11 17:45:57 * Alice nods Feb 11 17:48:04 Be open and honest with her, love... Edward and I don't love her so deeply just because she is our mother, but because of the way she is Feb 11 17:48:13 It’d be helpful if she likes me, or at least doesn’t look down on me for taking advantage of her son or similar Feb 11 17:51:38 * Morgan nods Feb 11 17:51:50 I'm afraid we'll have to wait and see but, she's not the sort to look down on you Feb 11 17:52:09 * Alice nods Feb 11 17:54:24 I shouldn’t need too long to get Florrie to bed. Did you need to help Molly with the boys’ bedtime? Feb 11 17:55:27 Yes, I best had... once the little lady is in bed, send word and we'll convene in my office Feb 11 17:58:18 F: No! Ballhead bed! Feb 11 17:58:59 I've got to help put Varick and Emil to bed sweetheart Feb 11 18:02:47 F: No, me bedtime! Feb 11 18:03:19 [Love, Florrie is adamant she wants me to put her to bed...] Feb 11 18:05:34 [Alright liebling, I think our Mothers want to help here anyway] Feb 11 18:10:28 * Morgan nods Feb 11 18:10:30 Alright sweetheart Feb 11 18:11:26 * Alice briefly nurses her, though it’s clear that this is almost an afterthought for Florrie now, her third birthday only a few months away Feb 11 18:12:47 Come on then sweetheart, lets get you settled down Feb 11 18:17:09 *Florrie is quite happy having Morgan get her ready for bed, and he has to dress Aspen too. Eventually both are tucked in* Feb 11 18:18:10 Alright then little lady, close your eyes... its time to sleep Feb 11 18:20:23 *Florrie does so, looking sweet and beautiful* Feb 11 18:20:44 * Morgan strokes her forehead until she's asleep before going back to Alice Feb 11 18:21:42 I'll get things set up then send for you Feb 11 18:24:05 * Alice nods Feb 11 18:24:09 Thanks Feb 11 18:24:21 * Morgan nods Feb 11 18:24:27 Be brave dearheart Feb 11 18:26:13 * Alice smiles “ I will” Feb 11 18:26:31 * Morgan nods, squeezing her arm before heading back to his own room Feb 11 18:28:33 *He can hear Verity singing My Bonny Blue Eyed boy from the childrens’ room Feb 11 18:30:11 * Morgan quietly goes through Feb 11 18:31:33 *His Mother, Mother in law, and the mother of his children are all stood near each other, tucking the children in, backs to him Feb 11 18:32:07 * Morgan watches them quietly Feb 11 18:33:56 *Maggie quietly comes in on time as usual, and quiet good nights are said to her. They move in to the parlour, Molly waiting a little longer to make sure Morgan is with them* Feb 11 18:34:23 * Morgan follows them Feb 11 18:38:04 *Verity and Martha take seats. Molly quietly whispers “Is everything alright?” in his ear. Not only does she smell of rosewater and her increasing this close, he can still faintly detect how she’d put the scent of her arousal on her neck earlier too when they were making love out in the grass Feb 11 18:38:29 * Morgan shrugs slightly Feb 11 18:38:49 [I hate to say it, but your mother knows Feb 11 18:38:50 ] Feb 11 18:40:03 [I thought we were waiting?] Feb 11 18:40:08 * Alice is now known as Molly Feb 11 18:40:27 * Molly pours the last of the tea from the pot into their cups Feb 11 18:40:38 [I didn't tell her. Your freckles did] Feb 11 18:42:06 * Molly sits on the couch, the older women chatting about Emil, and what their own children were like at his age Feb 11 18:42:27 [Oh!] Feb 11 18:43:23 [You've never had them... she has, on thirteen occasions. I didn't confirm it, thought] Feb 11 18:48:31 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 11 18:53:57 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Feb 11 18:54:21 [You've never had them... she has, on thirteen occasions. I didn't confirm it, thought] Feb 11 18:55:22 [That is interesting, but... I wanted to wait until after the baptisms] Feb 11 18:56:13 [so did I. She's going to keep her suspicions to herself] Feb 11 18:57:21 * Molly sips her tea, nodding slightly Feb 11 18:57:37 Ma: He’s a healthy weight too, very solid Feb 11 18:58:27 * Morgan nods Feb 11 18:58:56 He's very calm and loving... though if he's been out of Mollys sight for more than about ten minutes, he screams like he's inconsolable when she comes back Feb 11 19:01:08 *Martha smiles* She was no better. And Peter, well I used to wonder if he just did not really like David at all! Feb 11 19:03:02 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:04:23 To be fair, he does have that effect on people... Feb 11 19:05:48 *this makes them laugh* Feb 11 19:06:06 Ma: He is looking forward to seeing you both Feb 11 19:06:20 That'll pass Feb 11 19:07:05 Ma: He’s looking forward to seeing his latest grandson too Feb 11 19:07:48 * Morgan nods, looking thoughtful Feb 11 19:09:27 [he’ll realise too?] Feb 11 19:10:09 [I don't know] Feb 11 19:10:45 Ma: Did you see John when you were in Tawstock? Feb 11 19:11:15 * Morgan frowns, nodding Feb 11 19:12:47 He was not doing well Feb 11 19:12:54 * Molly nods sadly Feb 11 19:13:11 I confess I worry for him. For Kathleen especially. Feb 11 19:14:46 Ma: *she nods* I said to David he wouldn’t do well with it. He didn’t do well when things went wrong with him joining our family. Feb 11 19:14:59 * Molly sips her tea, staying quiet Feb 11 19:15:59 * Morgan watches her Feb 11 19:16:31 interesting. Mother, there is something we should deal with... would you accompany me to my office? Feb 11 19:16:48 *Verity stands* Of course, dear boy Feb 11 19:17:18 * Morgan stands, going to the door before offering his arm Feb 11 19:17:38 [I'm going to introduce her to Alice before I call your mother out] Feb 11 19:18:06 [yes] Feb 11 19:18:15 * Molly is now known as Verity Feb 11 19:18:23 * Verity goes with Morgan Feb 11 19:18:52 * Morgan leads her to his office, unlocking the door and showing her in before ringing for a servant Feb 11 19:19:59 * Verity looks around, settling on the display of cups Feb 11 19:20:08 Look at all your cups! Feb 11 19:20:47 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:20:55 From important places to me Feb 11 19:24:53 Sascha gave one to Martha to bring to you, David said Molly had left him a note Feb 11 19:25:12 * Morgan smiles Feb 11 19:25:44 That one up there... *he points* that was from the first time I took Dietlinde for a picnic... she hated the tea Feb 11 19:25:58 * Verity looks at it Feb 11 19:26:31 That’s from Die Dauerhaftigkeit... it was one of a wedding gift we had from some Freiarr or another Feb 11 19:26:43 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:27:08 I thought I'd lost it... turns out Dietlinde had kept it, hidden it in her room. I found it when I was in Sudlachenburg last Feb 11 19:29:41 * Verity nods Feb 11 19:29:53 Now it has a home here with you Feb 11 19:30:05 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:30:11 Yes... Feb 11 19:30:50 Alice is worried about meeting you Feb 11 19:31:26 * Verity takes a seat Feb 11 19:31:42 is she, dear boy? I don’t bite Feb 11 19:31:50 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:32:06 I have assured her of that... but given some see her as some immoral destroyer of marriages... Feb 11 19:33:19 * Verity nods “You’ve discussed it with Martha.” Feb 11 19:33:43 I had to explain it to Sascha and Otto, in case they saw Florrie when they visit Feb 11 19:33:58 * Verity nods Feb 11 19:34:46 Her circumstance is unfortunate, but people do mistakes Feb 11 19:35:00 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:35:16 Once one of my staff arrives, I'll send them for tea and for Alice... Feb 11 19:36:30 *whch is when there’s a knock at the door* Feb 11 19:37:49 come Feb 11 19:40:42 *the maid takes the instructions, and has been and gone with a tea tray by the time he hears Alice knock* Feb 11 19:40:56 * Morgan stands up Feb 11 19:40:57 Come in Feb 11 19:41:18 *Alice quietly lets herself in* Feb 11 19:41:30 * Morgan indicates a chair Feb 11 19:41:47 Alice... this is my mother, Grafin Verity Koertig... mother, this is Captain Alice Everheart Feb 11 19:43:50 *Alice curtsies a little before sitting* Feb 11 19:44:06 Alice, please call me Verity. Feb 11 19:45:37 *Alice nods* thank you. Feb 11 19:46:06 I thought we'd have tea instead of coffee... something Avalonian... Feb 11 19:46:14 * Verity smiles Feb 11 19:46:23 Is it your Uncle’s tea? Feb 11 19:46:29 * Morgan nods Feb 11 19:46:34 Yes, it is... Feb 11 19:47:22 Have you tried this before, Alice? I think it’s rather good Feb 11 19:47:43 *Alice smiles, relaxing a little* I did when we were there Feb 11 19:49:35 Uncle Christopher rather adored Florrie Feb 11 19:52:00 * Verity nods “He’s always liked children” Feb 11 19:52:09 A: Florrie liked him too Feb 11 19:53:34 Well, plants... Feb 11 19:55:24 * Verity smiles “They have common ground” Feb 11 19:56:33 Would you like some blueberries, mother? Feb 11 19:57:23 * Verity smiles “Yes, I am partial to blueberries” Feb 11 19:57:49 * Morgan gets some that he'd picked earlier, putting them in front of his mother Feb 11 19:58:05 I should tell you... Florrie grew them Feb 11 19:58:52 * Verity nods taking a couple “they look very nice” Feb 11 19:59:31 They're wonderful Feb 11 20:00:16 * Verity eats them, nodding as she does so, but manners too good to say anything until she’s fully finished eating “They are lovely! Feb 11 20:01:09 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:01:13 She's very talented Feb 11 20:02:02 * Verity nods “They are just right” Feb 11 20:03:50 *Alice smiles* She loves making fruit Feb 11 20:04:19 * Morgan nods, sipping his tea Feb 11 20:05:32 *they both do likewise* Feb 11 20:05:55 How are you finding your time in Eisen, Alice? Feb 11 20:06:58 A: We’ve liked having everyone around Feb 11 20:09:40 I’m sure Molly and Morgan have loved having you Feb 11 20:09:59 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:10:14 Its been enjoyable having someone else around who loves sailing as I do Feb 11 20:10:45 * Verity nods Feb 11 20:12:31 A: Florrie enjoys having Varick and Emil around too Feb 11 20:13:29 Despite their frequent bickering Feb 11 20:14:03 *Alice smiles* She can be bossy with them Feb 11 20:15:03 * Verity nods “Edward was like that with Morgan” Feb 11 20:15:41 That has not changed Feb 11 20:15:53 *both women laugh* Feb 11 20:17:50 Morgan was generally more easy going than Edward Feb 11 20:19:45 I'm more Avalonian than he is Feb 11 20:20:08 * Verity smiles “You are” Feb 11 20:23:52 * Morgan smiles, sipping his tea Feb 11 20:24:08 Alice isn't from too far from Foxcroft... Feb 11 20:24:49 Oh, you’re one of -those- Everhearts? From Knaresborough? Feb 11 20:25:08 *Alice nods* I am. I was. iT’s complicated Feb 11 20:25:46 * Morgan smiles Feb 11 20:25:49 That could be my motto Feb 11 20:26:38 * Verity smiles “very true, dear boy” Feb 11 20:28:24 * Morgan nods a little Feb 11 20:29:10 A: My brother John is Lord Knaresborough now Feb 11 20:33:09 * Verity chats about the general area, other neighbours, having once been there as a child. It seems to go well, but if they aren’t going to be late for dinner he needs to get them to their rooms to get ready for dinner Feb 11 20:33:42 * Morgan sighs Feb 11 20:33:59 I'm afraid I need to bring this conversation to a close... I wouldn't want us being late for dinner Feb 11 20:34:37 * Verity and Alice both rise Feb 11 20:35:36 * Morgan stands up Feb 11 20:35:51 Your rooms aren't too far apart... shall we walk up together? Feb 11 20:36:37 * Verity nods Feb 11 20:36:48 yes, let’s do that Feb 11 20:36:58 * Morgan moves to the door to let them out Feb 11 20:37:22 *Alice goes out first, and Verity follows* Feb 11 20:38:30 * Morgan locks the door on his way out, before joining them to head for their rooms Feb 11 20:39:40 *They both seem relaxed. Alice is the first to go, so Morgan has just Verity to take along the hall* Feb 11 20:40:46 How are you feeling about all that? Feb 11 20:41:04 She’s a lovely girl, isn’t she? Feb 11 20:41:12 * Morgan smiles, nodding Feb 11 20:41:15 I think so, yes Feb 11 20:42:29 * Verity nods “I thought it went well, do you?” Feb 11 20:42:37 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:43:00 I do. You both seemed quite relaxed by the end Feb 11 20:43:06 * Verity nods Feb 11 20:43:28 it’s a small world, isn’t it? Feb 11 20:43:49 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:43:52 It really is Feb 11 20:44:09 Are you apprehensive about meeting Florrie, given her appearance? Feb 11 20:45:00 I am nervous of my feelings surprising me, but do not fret, dear boy Feb 11 20:46:06 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:46:21 I'm afraid I won't be there... but Molly, Alice and Edward will. Feb 11 20:47:22 * Verity nods Feb 11 20:47:31 We’ll be quite alright Feb 11 20:47:38 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:48:16 She can be quite hard to draw out of herself... more or less ignoring her is what worked for me... telling me off is what drew her out to connect with Mina... Feb 11 20:48:58 * Verity opens the door to her bedroom, letting him in, speaking quietly Feb 11 20:49:19 How has that been? Feb 11 20:49:54 Strained. I'm afraid I quite lost my temper with her and Edward, but... things seem alright now. As for her and Florrie, its tough to say.

Feb 11 20:57:19 Not as you might expect... angry, though... I've never seen her so angry. It was needed, I think Feb 11 20:57:53 Angry, Mina? That is hard to picture! Feb 11 20:58:15 * Morgan nods Feb 11 20:58:20 It was... spectacular Feb 11 20:59:21 * Verity smiles Feb 11 20:59:25 why, dear boy?

Feb 11 21:13:50 No, I'm not... I do not exaggerate Florries countenance.. seeing her with me might well be unpleasant for you and... in all honesty, I think it will be deeply painful for me Feb 11 21:14:05 * Verity nods Feb 11 21:14:24 yes, dear boy. We will do that however you need to Feb 11 21:15:33 * Morgan nods Feb 11 21:15:50 Knowing how the blueberries were made did not bother you? Feb 11 21:16:30 No, I am at peace with the magic in our family Feb 11 21:17:00 * Morgan nods Feb 11 21:17:10 Good... a pity father will never be Feb 11 21:17:40 Be gentle with him, dear boy Feb 11 21:18:20 I'm trying to, mother Feb 11 21:18:45 * Verity nods Feb 11 21:18:59 He is upset, but he will adapt Feb 11 21:19:26 * Morgan nods, looking sad Feb 11 21:20:06 * Verity hugs him Feb 11 21:20:50 * Morgan holds onto her Feb 11 21:21:11 For once I wish it were easy Feb 11 21:21:23 * Verity nods Feb 11 21:22:43 Your life has been so much more complicated than I ever dreamed it would be Feb 11 21:24:12 * Morgan nods Feb 11 21:24:19 It really has Feb 11 21:25:20 * Verity nods Feb 11 21:25:41 But I hope it will get simpler now Feb 11 21:25:48 If only Feb 11 21:28:38 Your Father is slow to accept change, but we’ll keep working on him Feb 11 21:29:09 I will endeavour not to make him push me away Feb 11 21:29:43 Oh dear boy... *she hugs him tighter* Feb 11 21:31:28 * Morgan sighs Feb 11 21:31:32 I'd best let you get ready Feb 11 21:32:13 * Verity lets him go “Concentrate on Molly and the boys, everything else will fall into place” Feb 11 21:32:47 I hope so Feb 11 21:33:57 * Verity nods “I’ll see you at dinner” Feb 11 21:34:15 * Morgan nods, leaving her Feb 11 21:35:04 *the house is nice and quiet, the clock says twenty before seven* Feb 11 21:35:25 * Morgan stands still for a couple of minutes in the quiet before heading to his room Feb 11 21:35:46 * Verity is now known as Molly Feb 11 21:35:57 * Molly is in the dressing room Feb 11 21:37:09 * Morgan moves into the dressing room Feb 11 21:37:17 That went better than I expected Feb 11 21:38:18 * Molly is in a brand new white cotton shift that has ties all down the front.

Feb 11 21:43:57 * Morgan shrugs Feb 11 21:44:02 It came as no surprise Feb 11 21:45:12 * Molly nods. With a forearm above and below, she holds the fabric snug over her bump.
