 ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
Cosgrach was too distracted to notice Maddox was looking at somewhere, and he didn't have the ears of a cat to hear one Sophie Brown. In fact, he was pretty much fighting back the shame Maddox had just made him feel, and the regret for having this conversation. Why hadn't he sought Piers' help? Right, because Sophie Brown wouldn't leave him alone. She'd probably want to come to the sessions, and give him a hard time for admitting his failure. But Maddox...
What did he say?
The more Cosgrach listened, the happier he became. His negative mood was suddenly lifted, and he looked at the man hopefully.
"I say 'Aye'," he said, "as long as... this stays between us?" He didn't even feel the need to explain WHY.
"Thank you, by the way." This called for a hand shake, and Cosgrach would extend his as soon as the other man promised utmost privacy.
