"Scarlett?" *He called, having spotted her after waiting nervously. There was panic in his voice.*
"Scarlett!" *He said as he reached her after running to her.* "What in the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph happened to you? Did that bastard hurt you? Cause if he did I swear to God I'll..."

Stop yelling, Michael. Please. *She kept stumbling along without much progress. She was trying to put most of her weight on her left foot, but it was pretty hard going.*

*He rolled his eyes.*
"I wasn't yelling." *He said, before easily and gently picking her up so that he could carry her.*

Yes, you were. *She decided against telling him to put her down- there was no way she could make it all the way back up to the house on foot.* And thank you.

*She shot him a Look.* And I may have had a couple drinks. But that doesn't matter. *She sighed.* So I went to talk to him about last night. And at first he acted confused, like he didn't remember it, but then he suddenly seemed to magically recover his memory.

He...well, he asked me how much I remembered, and I told him what you told me. Then he grabbed my arm and twisted it and took me to another room and he told me that if I breathed a word of it he'd have you arrested for battery and he'd tell everyone that I'm a...a stupid, dirty whore.

*He sighed and shifted her weight a little.*
"He's not going to do anything--he's trying to frighten you into silence. We'll talk to your godmother and Maxim in the morning and they'll be able to sort it out."

No! I-I don't want M- them to know. *She bit her lip. Not Maxim, he couldn't know.*

"You don't want Maxim to know, is it? You're only setting yourself up to be hurt and slandered again if you don't tell them." *He said softly.*
