"Yeah."

It's part a breath, part a sigh, part a wry little laugh. "I didn't think you would."

The tiny suggestion of a smile isn't enough to light Mary Margaret up like the ever-burning candle she sometimes seems to be, but it's something, something that isn't deep unhappiness and confusion in her big eyes.

"But in case you change your mind, I'm pretty convincing backup."

An easy smile chased with a final swallow of whiskey manage to stop that thought before it starts, fortunately. It's something she's practiced at, and she flatters herself that Mary Margaret, entangled as she is in her own miseries, hasn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Because there's nothing to notice.
