Mark accepted Maureen's pushing because he was over her. Honest. Okay, it had taken some time and her obvious devotion to Joanne, but he'd moved on. And he'd thought Maureen was starting to grow up a little, maybe, and actually stay somewhat faithful to a human being for more than a few days. But if she was going around banging teenagers, maybe not. The good news was, it wasn't his problem anymore. And, apparently, Joanne wasn't around so he didn't have that to worry about either. Just Maureen being taken into custody for assaulting a minor. Great.
"Crazy, maybe, but you have to admit, she's got some talent. When she's not trying to overdo it." The truth was, Maureen could be a great actress, if she weren't so damn busy trying to beat the authority figures and stick it to 'the man'. Maybe there was something to selling out. Even if he had been considering cutting ties with Buzzline lately.
He hesitated, but then offered a smile. An honest one, even if it was a little bit shaky. "I promise, nothing. Honest. Nothing with her. At all. I don't care who she's with or what she's doing because it's nothing to me. Kay?"
