Difficult was an apt word for the position Edmund left Maggie in. Adelaide's estate was handsome enough that school would come at little issue for her, but the boys...Maggie would need a solution and soon. Their grandparents weren't much involved (thankfully, Maggie loved her in laws even less than she loved her husband) so relying upon them for assistance would be foolish.
His offer of help, while appreciated, was one that would never be accepted. Maggie had stolen enough from him, she could do no more. "Thank you. We'll be okay once the shock wears off, I think." It was unfortunate she wasn't younger. Finding another husband at her age would be difficult, especially when considering it would be years before she could even begin searching. "My sister has come to stay with us, she's been a great help." Maggie added with a slight smile. Percy needn't worry, though Maggie knew he likely would.
She stepped aside to allow him room. While she resented the idea of parting from him once again, they could hardly remain in the lift forever. Besides, she had promised Oliver a visit with Fred's children.
