Love In Plain Sight

Summary:

Helen is making eyes across the church

Notes:

Written for the Justified Discord March Madness 2024 event, in the RarePair category

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Helen glanced across the church. She looked so pretty today. Her hair was curled special, and was that dress new? Mags turned her head and made eye contact. Helen looked away, cheeks flushing.

Frances peeked over to see what Helen was looking at but it was just the stupid Polpins again. She sighed - what did her sister see in those oafs?

Helen glanced over again; Mags was looking straight at her. She smiled at Helen before turning to the pastor, the very image of innocence. A warm feeling bubbled up in Helen’s chest. She couldn’t wait until the service ended.

Notes:

I’m not sure if it’s ever said what Mags Bennett’s maiden name is so I snuck in a little nod towards Big Maggie Polpin, a character that I compared to Mags in a piece I wrote several years ago. Maggie Polpin is from the play Big Maggie by John B. Keane and has a similar tragic storyline of losing her children that Mags Bennett does. She is similarly strong-willed and scathing, and also runs a shop.
