Chapter 94: Payback

Maggie woke up late the next morning and padded out to the living room.  She checked her phone and saw a notification indicating that there was a text from Bobby. 

Good morning, cher!  I had a good time last night.  Just boarding my flight.  I’ll call you later.  B

She smiled to herself as she did a little happy dance.  A good morning text is nice.  She answered back, realizing that he probably wouldn’t get it until he landed. 

Good morning, yourself.  I enjoyed last night, too.  Hope your flight was smooth.  I’ll look forward to hearing from you.  Maggie

Then she set about putting ‘Operation: Michael’s Payback’ into motion.  She’d come up with a plan in the wee hours of the morning.  First, she called Ben.  “Hey, sweetie!  Want to do me a big favor tonight?”

She explained to Ben that she wanted to do something to lift Michael’s spirits and that a poker and pizza night would be just the thing.
