meg pulled out the one menu she had from her favorite place. yes, looking on her phone was an option, but meg could be a little old school sometimes. “do you like this place?,” she asked, handing meghan the menu. meg could see the joy in the other’s face when a sleepover was brought up and meg’s smile grew as well, nodding. “yeah, why not? it’ll be fun. i never had many growing up.” or any that she could remember. the younger meg’s apparent embarrassment brought a compassionate smile to margaret’s lips. meghan was sweet and meg didn’t mind her quirkiness one bit. “me neither but,” a shrug finished off her statement as she sat back down beside the other on the couch.
between working crazy hours and her fondness of unhealthy food, meghan had tried most of the fast-food places, so a smile lightens her face as soon as she sees the logo in the menu. the young girl nods energetically “ yeah, it’s great! do you like pepperoni? oh, and can we also have garlic bread? and a coke! ” she almost bounces from excitement for a second but a thought makes her pause all of a sudden, a frown appearing in her forehead. handing the older woman the menu again, she jumps off the couch. “ hey, could you wait for a moment? i--- just have to check something real quick ” the girl goes to her backpack and tries to make a discreet job of finding her wallet and counting the few bills there. a shaky quiet sigh escape her lips and meg feels her chest tightening in agony as she realizes her current financial situation, but makes a point to force a smile as she turns back to meg-- she doesn’t want the girl she considers her sister to catch up on her anxiety. “ you know what, i’m not very hungry. i think i’ll just have a coke. would you mind ordering, hun? ” the ballerina settles back on the couch, trying to maintain the smile on her face. she’s a little quieter than usual as she shakes her head to try and get the bangs from falling into her eyes while she thinks. “ whenever you want, i’m in ! just let me know when and i’ll make do. we can even share horror stories ” she laughs and her hand presses against meg’s knee and her thumb caress twice the spot, very lovingly, before her attention is turned to the screen once more, trying to distract her mind.
