Maria watched him, listened to him. She still didn't like it, like the idea of him using himself as bait. She was thinking about all the ways this could go wrong but Gareth was right. They didn't really have any other options.
"Moneypenny, Tanner, even Bond. People know they'd take your side, or they'd assume they'd take your side." Maria said, because even if he didn't believe it, even if he didn't want to admit it or acknowledge it the optics and everything else said they'd probably take his side. They needed people outside of their little group to see it.
"Do you really want to know what I think could go wrong? I think if it's revenge she's after she could see through the ruse, let you go through with it and then make up something more heinous about you." Maria said bluntly before she sipped her tea and sat back. She really missed Barney, his head would have been in her lap right now if he were here, her fingers moving through his fur, the warm weight of him soothing.
"What if it was at a party?" Maria asked him. "A room full of people, a room full of people see her flirting with you, see her sniffing around you, see her trying to get close to you all night. Even with me there. It means when she tries to kiss you, you could reject her loudly." Maria suggested.
"I'm a social butterfly compared to you, which would mean you'd be alone enough that she'd hover round you, or seek you out." Maria added, but she'd keep a close eye, she'd always keep a close eye in case he needed help.
His brow rose, and Gareth sucked in a breath, preparing himself for Mariaβs speech. Of course there were lots of things that could go wrong with that plan; so many, actually, that he had to fear losing his job due to it. But then again, with that woman, Sarah, it was possible that he lost his job one way or another, not knowing what her actual plans were. If she was really just still infatuated with him and didnβt take no for an answer, or if she wanted revenge after all those years because of what happened in the army. He couldnβt just ask her, though, could he?
His lips pursed as he looked at Maria. Listening. Finally, he picked up his mug and took a sip of his tea. βA party?β An eyebrow was cocked up. God, he was already shivering just thinking about it. While Maria liked to go out and have fun, meet friends in a pub for a quiz, or just to have a drink or dinner, he rather stayed at home reading a good book. It had always been like that; even in the army his mates had had to drag him out with them to a pub. Now, going to the lake, for example, was something different. But having people around himβ¦and so many, at thatβ¦
βIt would have to be something that makes sense for her to attend,β Gareth continued Mariaβs thoughts, pursing his lips for a moment. βFor all to attend. Somethingβ¦with more influential people around.β The Prime Minister? Or was that too much?
She loved when she could feel his hand on the small of her back. It was such a small thing but it meant so much, it made her feel safe. It made her feel protected and she had spent so long not feeling like that that she cherished it.
When he mentioned the honeymoon she gave him a look. No, there would be none of the aforementioned people. She knew that going on a honeymoon would be difficult because of everything that had happened but that didn't mean she didn't want to try. She wanted somewhere sunny with a beach and the sea, but she would be just as happy if they stayed in the UK.
Maria stopped when he did and it took her a minute to process what he'd said. It took her by surprise, it took her by surprise because she'd thought she would have to do all the organising. Especially given it was her that wanted the wedding, more than he did. She just stared at him for a minute, gazing at him with soft eyes.
"I-" She was trying not to get emotional, ignoring the tourists pushing past them, there was nothing but her and Gareth in the world right now. "I- I can't believe you did that." She said, dropping the bag in her hand without thought and throwing her arms around him. "Yes, yes, absolutely. Yes, I really do."
Gareth stared at Maria, eyes wide. Oh god. He had said something wrong, hadnβt he? He had gone out and called the church, had contacted them, talked to them, almost actually made the appointment, all without talking to Maria about it beforehand. Shit. He should have asked her, right? She was going to be mad becauseβ But now, she wasnβt mad. She was happy.
He froze on the spot for a moment when she threw her arms around him, completely flabbergasted. His gaze dropped to the bag now lying on the ground. Poor cake. βIββ his free hand moved to rest on her back, fingers splayed. βI wasnβt sure you would want it. I mean, we talked about it.β Well, mentioned, more like it. It had been an idea, a tiny idea, that had somehow gone stray and hadnβt left him alone. βI wanted to surprise you, butβ¦I would understand if you were mad I stepped out and did it without you.β Oh hell, Gareth Mallory, she isnβt mad at you! Really, why did he keep thinking she was?
A smile was finally forming on his lips. βSoβ¦does that mean I can call them tomorrow and arrange an appointment?β

Oh you mean the diamond ring you bought at the engagement ring store? You're right. Everyone is certainly reading too much into it. (We need a picture of this ring or a thread cause I don't think he gave her one!)
Make him squirm!
"I didn't give it to he--how do you...?"
"Well. You're right. There is no ring. I don't even know how this came up--"
// You talked about it...
"...I di--"
Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?
Random asks! Yay!
"I am more of a 'lives alone without pets' person. We used to have a dog when I was a child, but...that was a long time ago. I don't need them in my life; neither dogs, nor cats. Least of all cats. It's enough that I have to deal with that bloody Larry occasionally..."
