No, Marian was never one to over dramatise. And she wasn't this time, either. He really wouldn't like it. She was about to hurt him. And not just with the content of what she had to say, but the fact that she'd hidden it from him at all. But it had to come out. She didn't like keeping secrets from Robin and she typically didn't if she didn't have to. But Lois and the others had been right. If she didn't tell him, he would find out from somewhere else. And he'd be angry with her for not being the one to say it.
She accepted his hand, giving it a squeeze. And in a bold move for a woman of her station, but a chaste one for a 21st century girl, she leaned up on her toes and brushed a kiss against his lips. "You haven't," she teased gently, touching his cheek with her free hand for just a moment before leading him inside. "But it is nice to hear."
They'd sort it out together. Of course they would. They could get through anything as long as they were together. They could, couldn't they? But that begged the question...what was he like without her? Would he move on right away? He was young to be a widower. No heirs, obviously. It stood to reason that he'd likely remarry. The thought broke her heart, but she didn't want him to live his life alone, either.
She practically shook herself to get her mind away from there. "Did you enjoy the camp? I'll be attending next week." Unlike some women, she didn't bother asking if that was okay with him. He already knew that Marian did as she chose and asked questions later.
