𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮, he was extremely unpredictable right now and maggie knew that she should be more careful, she didn't need to keep testing him and seeing how far he would go. john had already proved that he had no issues with hurting her children, she still hadn't been able to forget that moment where tilly had pushed negan aside only to get hurt herself and she never wanted to see that again. but the separation from her children, from negan, it wasn't doing her any good and whilst she knew this was what she had to do to keep them 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲, she wasn't happy about it. her family was everything to her, not being able to see her kids every day was heartbreaking and it was all because of him. what did he expect? for her to be all happy and smiles? not going to happen.
𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, not wanting to argue with him anymore because if she continued to stay, she would say something she can't take back and she had people she loves to protect. but she should've known that he wouldn't just let her leave, blocking her path and causing her to stop, not looking at him as he questioned her about negan. maggie knew if she even answered his question, he would be 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 with the answer and that would only put negan in more danger. there was no answer that he would like, none that would make him feel good and that would be so many lies, which he'd be able to tell that she was lying. instead she just keeps her head held high, trying not to look intimidated as he circled her, jaw set in a hard line as she kept her eyes looking forward. but there was no denying the way her heart was beating hard, the fact she had to make the effort to keep her breathing calm and she could already feel 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 starting to kick in.
𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿, keeping her expression neutral as she tried to read the expression on his face. it had been years since she had let herself be alone with him, after she had left all those years ago there had been no reason to stay in contact, she hadn't liked what she was seeing from him and she refused to stand by the man he was becoming. but a part of her couldn't help to wonder if she hadn't walked away, would he even be the man he is now? maggie couldn't think like that, before he came back into her life like this, her life was amazing and she wouldn't trade it for anything. she had a beautiful man who loved her, who saw her for who she really is and would do anything for her. her two amazing children were her life, the reason she was even standing here in front of him because she wouldn't let him hurt her children. it takes a lot in her to not 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵 away from his touch. maggie had to be smart about this, if she was going to play this game with him, she was going to have to try to play by his rules for a little bit.
𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵, looking down for a moment and she nods her head, teeth pulling on her bottom lip. it was never in her nature to play meek and submissive, she had always been bold and 𝗳𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘆 without her powers and having to learn endure the pain she does, she never backed down from anything. except she knew if she was actually going to keep the people she loves safe, that may be exactly how she needs to play it for a little while, " you're right, i'm sorry, " maggie apologised, hands curling into fists for a moment, nails digging into her skin for a moment. before she lets out another sigh, hands uncurling as she looks up at him, forcing a smile onto her face, " i've not been very fair to you and that is so wrong of me, " she hated every word out of her mouth, she didn't even care if it was obvious how much she was forcing it, but she would try her best to keep things calm, if it meant everyone she loved was safe from him. a hand comes up to cup one of his cheeks as she leans up to press a kiss to his cheek. all she wanted to do was rip him apart for threatening her kids and negan, but instead she had to just be patient and do what she had to do in order to keep them all safe, " we're not gonna fight the whole time, that would just be miserable for both of us, " maggie promised, dropping her hand from his face and letting it rest on his chest as she kept the smle on her face, " consider the atittude gone, no more, i promise, "
