Snippet #2547952

Maria
Maria listened to Daniel as he told her how things would be getting more serious around here. She could have guessed as much that things were starting to get eventful, but she didn't mind. Just more things to keep them occupied. Then she thought about the possibility of being a spy. "A spy? Do you really think so?" The possibility of there being a spy in their midst might have crossed her mind once or twice, but she had never really thought of it seriously before. She took a look around the room, as if to see if there was any suspicious behavior around in the bar. Seeing none, she turned back to Daniel. After Daniel passed her her drink, she grabbed the glass and took a sip. The sip was just enough to make her want more, and so she took another swig after that. Just one drink, that's all... she reminded herself. She looked at Daniel and smiled as he assured her about bringing the spy to justice. She loved the grin that he gave when he talked about finding the culprit, and she knew that this spy was going to be sorry when Daniel found out who he was. "Yes, I'm sure everything will be just fine around here. I'm not worried. Just as long as these idiots get their acts together and do what they're suppose to when they're told." She shot a glance at the various men around the bar and smiled. She concluded that 'idiots' was a fairly good term to describe them all. Maria's heart almost skipped a beat when he asked her if she would like to walk around the maze. It had been more than once that she had dreamed of him asking the same question, and she could hardly believe it was actually happening. He's just being nice... she had to tell herself. She smiled at him. "Yes, I think a walk would be rather... refreshing." She grabbed her glass as finished it in a few gulps. She started to feel a little dizzy and she thirsted for more, but she knew that another would lead to only another and another after that. Besides, she could hardly wait to go on the walk with Daniel. She slid out of the booth and smoothed her dress as she waited for Daniel, almost giddy with excitement, and perhaps a bit more bubbly than usual because of the drink. For her, it never took much.
