Maggie seemed to be something of a mimic after he did finally speak. She hadn't realized until that moment that she'd actually been holding her breath as he'd thought about what she'd said, which felt like had been ages. But then he'd said yes and she exhaled suddenly herself as her own grin mirrored his own. The widening of her grin certainly reached her eyes as she beamed happily at him, her whole face lit up with happiness and excitement.

And..without thinking, she threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug. She even went so far as to brush her lips across his cheek in her excitement before blushing furiously and stepping back. Her hands still rested a bit tentatively as she looked up to him, face still flushed but eyes bright still. "You're sure?" she asked, wanting to make sure he really was, "I promise the money won't all be just mine. Certainly most so that the bakery can get a good start but there should be plenty for us to live comfortable. Especially with your income and the income the bakery will bring it."
