If Marilyn only knew the kind of danger he was putting himself in. But, it wasn't about him, he wouldn't want her to worry. Rafe gave her a side glance and smiled.
"There's some things I kind of have planned on my own," Rafe said confidently as he lept quickly over the table to sit on the other side, hoping a professor didn't notice. "There's nothing like an adventure!"
Marilyn felt a little hurt that he wouldn't look at her.
Traveling...? She bit her lip in thought as she considered this information. She knew he and his mother were foreigners to England, and that his mother was hoping to make new well-to-do friends. When they'd talked in Diagon Alley all those months ago, he'd expressed that his mother was wanting to stay for a while.
It is the summer, Marilyn...People naturally travel over the summer. She rolled her eyes at her inner voice.
She wanted so badly to ask where he was going and if he was going alone. In her last letter from Amelia, she'd clearly started that Rafe's mother had contacted her and they'd done lunch and tea...and that she'd wanted Marilyn to meet the new society lady in her circle. Marilyn naturally assumed that the new lady would be spending time with them over the holidays. Had she been wrong?
When she seen Rafe cut his eyes at her and smile, her own narrowed. He could address Carter and act like she didn't even exist mere minutes before...but now he wanted to wink at her? He was probably going off to get himself killed.
Stupid Gryffindor. The thought made her cringe. If anything ever happened to Rafe...Marilyn didn't know what she'd do.
Ugh! Why was she putting so much thought into this?! Why did she even care? It was probably just cultural visits...He'd expressed his love for culture just as she had...But why was she getting the feeling that he was going to do something...
stupid?
Stupid stupid Gryffindor!
