Maria has the good sense (for once in her life) to phone ahead and check with Caroline to see whether Aloysius is going to be 'at lunch' or at least conveniently alone in his office at some point this afternoon. Neither of them decide to warn him, but Maria does promise to bring him something of her own making! Surely that's better than whatever ( Read more... )

The door is not locked; Aloysius has his jacket off and his sleeves rolled up some, at his desk taking a 'break'. A 'break', in this case, actually meaning that he's going through assorted things requiring his signature or the denial of his signature while he sifts through the crap people are trying to push across his desk.
It's moderately less hard-working than other things he could be doing, ergo it absolutely counts as a break. He glances up when the door opens, and is...not as surprised as he could be to see Maria. "Hello, there."

Maria grins at him, and saunters forward to kiss him hello...without bothering to close the door behind her, by the way. By this point, she assumes almost everyone knows Aloysius has a crazy ho girlfriend, okay, but this is just ensuring it. Yes. She sets the tin on the desk as she goes. "Hi, stranger."

Even Aloysius can't actually object to being greeted that way, and he threads his fingers through her hair briefly. "You didn't tell me you were coming." And neither did Caroline, who he does not immediately suspect of being complicit - but he'll learn. Meanwhile, he's getting up to shut the door behind her.

"I thought I'd surprise you," she says, smiling. Since he left his chair so freely available, she immediately takes a seat in it...and props her high heels up on the desk top, looking for all the world like she thinks she owns the place. Mind you, she knows better, but this is part of the game. By the way, at this angle, it's pretty apparent that she isn't wearing much--if anything--beyond underwear underneath the coat. Well, Maria did warn him she'd probably do this once in a while. He might not even mind.
"So. Are you surprised?"
