Moira MacTaggart, Charles Xavier
100 words
Prompt: There were roses...
Moira lay in the hospital bed, her leg in plaster. She was being released today, but she wasn't returning to Edinburgh, no matter how Joe threatened and begged. She was going home to Muir. Charles had insisted on escorting her himself. She was dreading his arrival; his kindness and disappointment.
Charles took Moira's hand in his.
"Why did you stay?"
Charles could see her marriage as clearly as she did; the abuse was laid out before him like bones on a table. Moira turned her face away and tried to make sense of it.
"When we married, there were roses..."
