"Well, nothing wrong with doing things differently once in a while," he said, grinning and kissing her cheek. "We could get in bed now." Especially after the all-nighters he'd been pulling, the idea of snuggling into bed with Script and catching up on their lives was positively decadent.

She hoisted herself up off the floor, stripping from whatever items of clothing she still had on and slipping into her nightgown. "Agreed." She crawled into bed, waiting for him, wanting to lay against him.

He threw on an old shirt and shorts, the equivalent of pajamas, and jumped in next to her, snuggling under the blankets and wrapping an arm around her. He let out a sigh of contentment. "This, right here...this is perfect." He frowned slightly. "Except that now, I wouldn't mind a cat. Just to lie on our feet and warm 'em up."

She laughed, kissing his shoulder. "Don't even think about it. You let one in, they all want in. No cats in the bedroom. It's a rule." She winked at him, then kissed him again before settling against his body.

"I know, I know," he grumbled, giving her a charming smile that meant he would probably break the rule the minute her back was turned. "So what have you been up to? Tell me everything I've missed."

She smiled, fingering a button on his shirt idly. "You haven't missed a whole lot. I've been baking, mostly. I sold three dozen cookies to Mr. Hollaway for his retirement party, and people are always wanting brownies." She glanced up at him. "You know Mrs. Ingrid, the lady who owns the bakery down the block? She's moving out West somewhere to be closer to her son."

He nodded casually at this bit of gossip, then raised an eyebrow and started to grin as her meaning dawned on him. "Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"

She blushed. "It was just an idea...I don't even know if we have the money to buy the place." But she really wanted to buy the place.

"Are you kidding? With the kind of clients I've been getting lately, and the size of the cakes you've been selling...if Mrs. Ingrid'll give us a fair deal, we can definitely swing it." His grin broadened. "Maggie, you were born to run your own bakery. You'll do twice the business she ever did."

She smiled, getting a little misty-eyed. "Do you really think I could do this? It would mean I'd have less time at home..." And they spent so little time together as it was.

"So I'll try to avoid the all-nighters," Goblin said. It wasn't like he enjoyed them anyway. "If I'm gone all day and you're gone all day, we'll still have our evenings together. And Sundays." He smiled wickedly. "Which, of course, we'll spend honoring the Lord."

She laughed, kissing him. "Oh, of course. Every time I see Daddy he grumbles about me needing to drag you to Mass more often." She lowered her voice, making a face as she mimicked her father. "'Magdalen Mary, when are you going to make that boy take Christ so you'll stop living in sin?'"

Goblin chuckled. "Oh, boy. Can't you just tell him I'm a total gentleman with amazing powers of restraint and we sleep in separate beds?" He liked Maggie's father and wished there were a way to make the man believe he wasn't damning his daughter's soul.

She laughed. "He's Catholic, not stupid. He knows damn well we've been all over each other since that time you got me arrested." She stuck her tongue out him, then kissed him, shrugging. "You could always just marry me and get it over with."

He looked at her as if this had never occurred to him before. "What, in a church? With, uh...Latin and everything?"
