Emerald hues roll at her nephew's response, frame moving to pluck the joint from his digits, taking a long hit off it before passing it back and seating herself down next to him. "I've always loved to crash parties," Mackenzie quips back with an exhale of the smoke, settling back into her chair. "Not exactly my kind of party but then never would've thought pity party was your scene either, kid."

nate leaned back in his office chair for a moment taking it all in. “i cant leave her. i am married to her.. she will take everything i own.” the man reminded his mistress. “when we started this you knew i was married with zero intention of leaving my wife..” he pointed out. “so now you get knocked up and you think that things are going to change.” nathaniel let out a loud sigh as he sat his pen down on his desk. “i told you our agreement, i will take care of you and the baby, but i cant leave my wife.”

INT. CHEN RESIDENCE, CATALINA ISLAND. NIGHT. 

Maggie’s nervous. It’s an odd feeling. It’s odder, still, to note that this is one of the few instances that she’s felt as such around his presence. 

Being married to Nate was — is, she corrects herself — easy, and she’s yet to figure out whether that’s a good or a bad thing. They’ve survived this long, at the very least, and more than two decades together seems like a good enough run. Certainly not worth scoffing at, as her parents had done in her and Nate’s tenth-, fifteenth-, and twenty-year anniversaries, still holding their breaths and waiting for everything to fail spectacularly. 

She doesn’t want to give them the satisfaction of being right. 

Instead of allowing it to crash and burn, she establishes the setting of a slow simmer: of her, seated at the couch on the foot of their bed; the papers, heavy and weightless all at once, sitting on the table beside it. Slow and steady, just as they are, and may never be again.

“Hey,” begins Maggie as he enters, cracking a small smile as she jokes lamely, “fancy seeing you here.” ( @nathanhaverford​ )

the wedding planner: we had a thing once and now i’m helping u with ur wedding @mcturethemes​

nate had listened to his soon to be wife go on and on about just how lucky they were to get the wedding planner that had gotten. of course he had shrugged it off, as long as she was happy that was all that really matter. he would have been just as fine with a day at the courthouse. pulling up the two had gotten out and began to look around the venue as they waited for their planner to arrive. though as soon as they turned the corner he had paused when he seen her in front of him. a bit shocked but a smile tugged at his lips.
