Maevis sipped her fresh thimble of whiskey, then continued; "What I never directly told you, and what I couldn't bring myself to say in front of your husband, was that we were.. Umm.."
"Bumpin' uglies?"

"Ima sorry, Mae. Go on with yer story, and I'll get Skye's things together for tomorrow," Peggy replied with a cheeky smile as she set the whiskey bottle down.
With surprise in her tone, Skye asked; "Ye don't want to stay for it?"
