Marian stirred awake, turning onto her back and instantly feeling the warmth of another body near her. Smiling, she looked at Robin for a moment before pushing herself out of bed. She had woken up with her throat feeling exteremely dry and she had forgotten to put water next to her before sleeping to so she had no other choice. Making sure he still had the covers over him, she slipped her feet into the slippers she kept close by and pulled on her dressing gown. She had felt the chill the moment she left the bed and didn't really want to get cold.

Padding out of the bedroom, she shut the door quietly before switching the light on. Blinking a few times, it took her a moment to adjust to the lighting in the room before she moved to the kitchen. But something was there that she had not seen before she slept. Barely glancing at it, she walked to get a glass and filled it with water before moving to the table. Picking up the papers, her curiousity getting the better of her, and her hold on the glass loosened as it fell to the floor. She felt sick as the word 'divorce' stood out.

He was only slightly aware of her leaving the bed, the movement rousing him from a deeper sleep. Hearing her leaving the room, he rolled over on to his back, assuming she was going to get a drink, as she'd done plenty of times in the past. It was just as he was drifting off again that the sound of a glass shattering jerked him back to full wakefulness, sitting upright. Leaving the bed, he pulled on a t-shirt against the slight chill in the air, moving down the hall to the kitchen.

Entering the room quietly, it took his eyes a moment to adjust to the light as he stepped up behind her. "Marian?" He asked, glancing over her shoulder, trying to see if she was okay. It was then that he saw what she was holding, and he felt as though he'd been punched in the stomach.

"You..." He didn't even know what to say. She wanted a divorce?

She vaguely heard the bedroom door open but then Robin was behind her and she tensed. He was going to act so casual about this, wasn't he? When he trailled off she turned to face him before shoving the papers at his chest, not caring if he dropped them or not. Walking away from him, she folded her arms over her chest before turning to face him.

"I found them, yes, if that's what you were going to say. You weren't exactly discreet about it!"

It was better to be angry than to cry. Shaking her head, she looked away for a moment to collect her thoughts before looking to him again. There was no disguises the hurt in her eyes.

"Is this because of the talk about having a family? Because I'm sure there are better ways of dealing with that than a divorce."

	"I wont," she said with a slight smile before, on instinct, she pressed her lips softly to her cheek. Pulling back, she bit her lip and watched him. She knew what he was talking about, of course she did, she just hoped he knew why he kept acting like this. "So neither of us want this. That's all that matters." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shook his head at that, looking down at their joined hands. How could she say it didn't matter? Especially when she wasn't denying it. Which meant she couldn't, without lying. "Yes it does. It means you think that I did want that, that I'm lying to you about it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course I don't think that! It's just...that's twice you've said to me then changed your mind the very next day. What's going on?" Something had to be happeneing for him to change his mind so often. She watched him for a moment before nodding. She'd believe him, there were other stupid explanations for both the messages and the papers. "Okay. I believe you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You should go rest if you're tired." She had seen him yawn but there was no chance she was going to bed anymore. She was awake, and would be until later today when tiredness was bound to catch up on her. She would clean up a little then find something else to do. Whenever she let go of his hand, that was.
