Seriously, he didn't get it. And it would be SO SO easy to just go with it. To just say that she'd overreacted or something. Agree that her reaction had been ridiculous and then they could go back inside (or wherever) and go back to being them.
..........she wanted him to get it though.
"Zeke." The fact that he was laughing was seriously not helping but she was trying her best to ignore it so she could get this over with. She'd had some time to really think about it and now she thought she'd pinpointed just exactly what it was that had been bothering her about Paige's words. "I..." She swallowed. Last chance to just drop it? "I want that...what Paige said. The light, the...I don't know, the idea of marriage, of like, staying together forever, you know." Yes? Was he following? "I don't think her mentioning it would have bothered me so much if I'd, you know, ever thought about that kind of thing before." She bit her lip and gave him a long look.
"I don't...see that." Did he get what she was saying?
Also crying would be very bad timing right now, right? Mhm.
It was EASY if that was the problem, like, she didn't need to listen to ANYTHING Paige said about their relationship. It was thier relationship, they set the terms, not anyone else. Unfortunately, it seemed that Maggie didn't agree.

Whiplash. He had whiplash.
His smile began to falter as SHE began to look utterly miserable. What even? And now he was just all confused again. Happy, confused, anxious, worried, relieved, confused, frustrated, happy, confused. That was him. His day in a nutshell. "Maggie?" he questioned after she said his name, which sounded almost as if he was being berated. The only way it could have hurt more is if she had used his full name, like the way his mum did when she was 'disappointed'. Feeling like a scolded puppy, he curled his fingers into her robes, concern already evident on his brows.
It wasn't all bad?
She wanted those things? THAT WORKED! THAT WAS OKAY! Again, he felt the slightest bit more relieved - but not entriely, he could work with this though!!!!
"Hey hey heeyyyyyy," he attempted to soothe, tugging her a little closer by the robes. "That's the thing though, it's not something we need to think about yet, but... we can, I want that." He was never against the idea, just, didn't see the point in going there NOW. But why she still looked upset by it all was beyond him.
...
And then she said that.
She. Didn't. See. That.
No matter which way he put those four words in his head, it all resulted in the same interpretation, and it reminded him of the tone she had used in the carriage. Dropping his hands from her side, Zeke took a step backward, hoping that the distance would give him a different perspective of the whole situation. But it didn't. What was worse was the fact that he loved her, he had the eye sparkle, he wanted more... but then, all he could think was, she didn't.
Zeke was speechless, a lump had formed in his throat. After all the times that they had joked about his persuasiveness, he wished he had it now. Was she... not happy? Did she not enjoy their time together like he did? Was it ...
"I love you," he said a little defiantly, stepping toward her again. He had no intention of elaborating on that declaration and she'd heard it before, it was as clear as day. What he did do, was show her what he meant by taking her face in both hands and kissing her firmly.
