"It slipped my mind." He wiped his eyes; they felt like he might be crying, but he couldn't be sure. "Poor Uther's probably starving; I hope they fed him..."

Sadie glanced at him then back at the road. “…Grandkid?”

He glanced at her. "What about you, do you have family?"

"Oh?" His eyebrows shot up. He hadn't expected that; she seemed like one of those girls who preferred to put her career first. He saw nothing wrong with that; he just hadn't expected her to be married.

“Um… yeah.” She dipped her head, blushing a little at the reaction. She didn’t know what it meant.

Sadie grimaced, glancing over at him out of the corner of her eye discretely to see his reaction. “Meyer…Lovett.”

Meyer had a low opinion of the reverend. And to hear him tell it, it was reciprocal. She guessed they’d see. Meyer was a solid guy; just unwavering. Sadie loved it about him. A lot of people… didn’t. Especially since it was known he didn’t have the cleanest hands.

Nicholas opened his eyes, frowning. "Ah." He remembered Meyer, sort of. They'd clashed over a couple things at the bar--arguments over politics and opinions. He was shocked Mrs. Lovett was so considerate.l, if she'd married someone like Meyer.

“…yep.” She dipped her head. She wasn’t going to apologize for who she married; she loved him. “Coming up on six years now. Crazy to think about.”

"Congratulations." He wanted to get out of the car, now. He glanced out the window; it was dark out. "How'd you meet?"

Sadie glanced out the opposite window, feeling the tension. “Uh… work… kind of. It’s complicated.”

"Most things are," he mused.
