After he met his father, he very much matured and wasn't as mischievious as he once was. His stomach was in knots, he felt like he was going to be sick...they'd hurt her...they'd taken her away from him... he couldn't take the thought of it anymore...
He reached over and grabbed the picnic basket, turned his back to Marilyn and hurled. Rafe couldn't look at her. He felt like the guilt would take over him again. He could feel the temperature rising in his cheeks as he felt incredibly embarrassed. "I-I-I'm sorry." If she only knew what he was feeling.
"I've been thinking, maybe I can help you with those memories." Rafe knew that the only way he could ever have a relationship with Marilyn again would be if he could be honest with her and tell her everything that he'd done and what he was planning to do. But, he wanted to know more about what had happened to her. She was holding deep within her mind of hers information that could lead Rafe to her father. That key information could help ensure that she would never have to live in fear again. "Perhaps we could try Occlumency to help you better understand what you went through?"
Marilyn watched wide-eyed as Rafe emptied his stomach into the basket. Not thinking, she moved to his side, rubbing his back as the purge continued.
"I'm sorry, Rafe. Was it something I said?" She'd never seen him like this before, and it was scaring her. All she could think to do was mutter words of comfort, trying to put him at ease.
When he'd finally settled, and put the basket to the side, Marilyn cleaned it quickly with a wave of her wand. Grabbing a clean napkin, she wiped at his mouth, more intent on help him than realizing how close they were.
When he'd mentioned Occlumency, she paused.
"Do you think that'll work?"
