Who: Maggie & Paddy
Where: Maggie's House!
When: Thursday evening
What: Paddy goes to return Maggie's dishes
In Paddy's 28 years he had come to one conclusion and perhaps, only one. Girls made no sense at all. Ever. He had pissed off Maggie, he was certain. But how had he done it remained a mystery and he had logged off the computer the night before and gone to bed without knowing. He had also worked all day without knowing, which was just as well since he needed to no think about these things at work and focus on his tasks at hand. He had spent the day checking on the lambs in the pasture and other light duties as needed, almost all of which involved horseback riding and he enjoyed that.
Now though, work was over for the day, at least for him, and he had promised to return her dishes to her from the other day. The ham and potatoes she had brought, as well as the apple pie, had been delicious and had been enough for two meals for him. Hopefully, she wouldn't throw the dishes at him, he didn't like it when girls threw things when they were mad, his last girlfriend had done that and he had broken up with her for it. Once bitten twice shy though as the song went. It had been over a year since he had broken up with her though, since before his accident.
And why was he thinking about this now anyways!? With a start, he realized he liked her. Maggie was cute, she called his bullshit and she was a good riding companion, even if she was a beginner at actually riding. She was fun to talk to on the journals. There was the age difference, though 21 ans 28 wasn't that bad and she was deaf. Then again, he was missing part of his leg. They balanced each other out in their own way. Plus, and perhaps most importantly, she was cute. But she was not happy with him and that was a problem. Hopefully one he could correct, if not now, then soon. The realization though, was startling.
