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!

Laughing after throwing someone out a window!
Rafe couldn't read Marilyn. She randomly rolled her eyes. If only he could read thoughts, what an amazing gift that would be. But, she didn't have anything to say and he quickly addressed Carter.
"Yes, my mum is going to be kept busy here in England for awhile, and she's always encouraged a little individuality, so I thought I would look into my family tree a bit," Rafe said with a little cockiness.
"Just have to get all the arrangements made, but it doesn't seem like it should be a problem. I'm just not telling my mum exactly where I am going."
Rafe filled up a goblet in front of him.
"Plus, Kat will be accompanying me, so that will be nice. Turns out we both have a lot in common." Rafe took a sip and kept the goblet in his hand. He didn't say this to upset Marilyn. That certainly was not his intention. Plus, he already made it clear to Kat he could never date someone he didn't care about in that way. At the same time, Marilyn did encourage him to see other girls. That was besides the point. He shook his head at his rattling thoughts.
"Anyways, my plans are to go to Romania, it might be one of the most dangerous countries right now, with the territory dispute amonst some," Rafe lowered his eyes, he was getting into too much detail. Luckily Carter's attention seemed to turn to Marilyn. And a lot of people's attention turned to the staff table, but Rafe kept his eyes on Marilyn, trying read her in some way.
