Maggie and Justin woke up late the next morning. They lingered in bed until they started feeling guilty for leaving the children for so long. They left a generous tip for the maid and then went down to the desk to pay the bill. Maggie waited in the lobby while Justin paid with his credit card.

On their way out, the desk clerk called after them “Have a nice day, Mr. and Mrs. Boudreau.”

“Well, at least she thinks we’re married,” Maggie laughed.

“Does it seem so unbelievable?” Justin asked seriously.

“Of course not, Justin. It’s just that I’ve been thinking that I may not ever get married again.”

“What about your engagement to Tucker?”

“I guess I’m going to have to talk to him about that. I don’t think I can marry him after spending the last week with you.”

“We could get married Maggie,” Justin said quietly.

“I’m not sure I want to get married again after my divorce.”

“Maggie, you should give me a chance. I would never hurt you the way that Zak did.”

“I know that, Justin. Maybe I just need time to think about it…”

Maggie’s voice trailed off and Justin could tell that she didn’t want to discuss it any more. The drive back to Justin’s place was somewhat subdued. Maggie had a slight headache from the champagne from the night before and Justin was feeling hurt that Maggie hadn’t been more excited about his proposal. When they got home, they thanked Justin’s parents for watching the children. Justin accompanied his parents out to their car in the driveway.

“So how did it go, dear?” his mother asked.

“I’m not quite sure. We had a great night but I’m not sure that Maggie wants to get married again.”

“Maybe she’s not the marrying kind,” Justin’s mother said.

“No, that’s not it. I don’t think she’s gotten over the divorce. Zak hurt her, Maggie caught him cheating on her with the kids’ nanny. There were a lot of other women too that she doesn’t even know about.”

“But you would never do anything like that.”

“I think that Maggie knows that, she’s just a little gun shy.”

“Well, I hope that you can work it out because Jake needs a mother and father and a stable home life. If you need me to sit again, just ask.”

“O.k. Mom, thanks.”

His parents drove out the driveway and Justin walked back to the house with a thoughtful look on his face.
