WHO: Mary Crawley and Tony Stark WHAT: Chatting and checking out his alcohol production WHEN: Sunday evening WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Closed, Incomplete
Mary wasn't sure what to expect from her meeting with Tony. Despite the fact that many people on the island who knew him from home seemed upset with him, Mary found that she liked the man. He was confident in himself, admittedly to the point of over confidence, but she would rather a man err in that direction than have no confidence at all. He'd defended her desire for a fur stole when no one else seemed to understand, and like her, he didn't give a damn what others thought of him.
When he invited her out to look at his alcohol still and his computer, Mary was fairly sure that he was at least hopeful for more. She was pregnant, though she had not made that public knowledge yet. It seemed tasteless to her to sleep with a man other than the father of her child while she was pregnant, but she and Jim were not in a relationship. So what did that mean? What did any of this mean? Without marriage, the lines of boundaries seemed very blurred.
Mary approached the temporary shelter where Tony was staying, smiling at him when she caught his eye. "It seems as though you've been quite busy," she said as she took in her surroundings.
