Molly's fingers are inkstained from writing in her journal, and her eyes are gritty and tired. Quite frankly, she looks terrible. The firewhiskey on an empty stomach was not such a good idea.

She was on her way to get a meal from the bar to take back to her room, when she hears the singing. Both Tims?

She pauses on the stairs to listen, and then when Tim leaves, she almost turns around and flees back up to her room.

Coward, she says to herself. Just go and get your food. It's not like she's going to want to talk to you after last night, is it?

Still, she practically tiptoes past when his back is turned, and heads for the bar.

[timsbooks]

"Hey Molly."

Trained by world's greatest detective, remmeber?

[mollyprewett]

She stops mid-step, and cringes a bit.

"Tim."

She turns to face him, aware of the dark circles beneath her eyes. And she's just the tiniest bit drunk.

"I was just... food. Going to take it..."

She points at the stairs.

Smooth.

[timsbooks]

And he stills hasn't turned away from the door.

"You okay?"

[mollyprewett]

He probably can't hear her answering shrug.

"Dunno. We still friends?"

[timsbooks]

And now he turns towards her, a fake smile on his face. Fake, because... he doesn't want to be friends

"A'course."

[mollyprewett]

She can't tell that the smile is fake, because she's not looking up. Her eyes are fixed firmly on the floor.

"I'm sorry."

For so many things.

[timsbooks]

"I'm not."

He's moving closer.

"Why're you?"

[mollyprewett]

"Because, I don't know if I can be the person you want me to be."

She scrubs at her eyes with an agitated hand.

"I don't want..."

She shakes her head and looks away.

[timsbooks]

And he takes one of her hands in his.

"What DO you want?"

[mollyprewett]

"I want things to be the way they were before! I want thing to go back to being uncomplicated. I want to not have to worry that I'm going to fall for you and get my heart broken just like bef..."

She claps a hand over her mouth. She hadn't meant to say that much.

"I don't want to hurt you, either."

[timsbooks]

And he gathers her up to him, holding her close.

"Molly... I love you. And... I would do anything for you."

Even give up sleeping around.

[mollyprewett]

"You said that to the other Molly, too," she says miserably.

She's shaking, and while she doesn't put her arms around him in return, she does rest her head against his shoulder.

"I don't know what I can believe or what to trust. I think you do love me, but I'm not sure that you're in love with me. I don't think I want you to be."

[timsbooks]

"I love you Molly. With everything I have. I just want....

I want to be with you,
To be for you,
To be there...."

And he slams his mouth shut again.

[mollyprewett]

Her mouth drops open, even as she's reaching for her wand. She looks for any sign of smoke or flame.

"You have to stop doing that."

She doesn't see any signs of impending immolation, but she doesn't put her wand away.

[timsbooks]

"Sorry."

He doesn't look sorry.

"The truth just comes out."
