"Me either, Maggie," he said sadly, and he clearly wasn't just talking about their break-up. "But don't be sorry. You're happy with Skittery, right?" Oops; he was being a martyr again. "Or, um...you should kick him to the curb because he's dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing scum?" Which he didn't actually believe--he barely even knew the guy--but he could only assume it was the kind of selfish-ex-boyfriend comment she expected.

She bit the inside of her lip, thinking. Skittery did make her happy. He loved her and wanted to take care of her. There were no pretenses or ulterior mostives. But one very simple fact remained.
"He's not you."

Goblin's eyebrows went way up. He loved Maggie, he would always love her, and yet he honestly couldn't believe she was still hung up on him after everything that happened. He'd told her they could never understand each other, and he'd meant it. Yes, he'd always care for her, but he didn't think she'd ever get him the way Riddle had, or that he could ever get her the way he'd assumed Skittery did.
"I'd say that's probably a good thing," he said softly at last. "Mag, I wouldn't know what to do with a baby either. And I can't even really process this right now. That's not your fault," he added quickly. "But after everything, after last night, I just...can't."

She looked down at her lap, her back going stiff. "It doesn't matter. None of it matters. Forget I said anything."
She stood up, clearing her throat. "You'll need to have someone clean and rewrap your shoulder a couple times a day for the next coupla' days. The stitches should hold. Leave them in for a week or so, then cut them out. I'm sure Clara can figure it out."

Goblin listened to all of that, but only responded to the first part. "Of course it matters, Script," he said wearily. "And I'm...I'm really sorry that this is happening to you. I just wish I could help somehow." But I don't have anything left. He realized that she hadn't said a word about Riddle; he wondered if she even knew, or if she realized how much it had hurt him, even though he'd thought he hated the girl for so long.

Script did know about Riddle. But she wouldn't offer condolences. In her mind, she was the reason Gobin was so damaged. She ruined him. And she was the reason they couldn't just be happy together.
"There's nothing anyone can do. Get some rest. If you need anything, I'm sure Clara or Cav will take care of it." Or Sammie. But she wouldn't say so.

His eyes had already closed, though more out of mental than physical exhaustion, and he had a sudden wild notion of getting out of this place--moving somewhere new, where no one hated him, or had ever been in love with him, or even knew who he was. It was such a tempting idea that he held onto it, hoping he would dream about it instead of Lena's face. "Take care of yourself, Maggie."

Her lip trembled, and she didn't say anything. Just walked out to find a place to cry and wonder how things could go so terribly wrong.
