Charlie

It was half past nine, and Mary Margaret still hadn’t made her appearance. Charlie slipped his pocket watch back inside of his jacket and took another sip of his drink. Surely, she’d be there soon. What could possibly be keeping her?

“She said she’d be here at nine,” Charlie sighed. “You’re certain she’s not here?”

“At least you know what she looks like,” Charlie muttered.

Charlie couldn’t help but chuckle at the description.
