31 Plays in 31 Days, #18 - "Reunion"

I always feel a little weird about posting pieces from the very far future of the Mrs. Hawking stories. It sometimes it feels like spoiling things, especially since it's much easier to figure out the emotional high points rather than plot stuff, and also weird since I don't necessarily know where things will be at that late story point. But sometimes that's all I can come up with, so in challenges where I have to write SOMETHING, sometimes that's what comes out. It's okay if I have to change them later. And it never hurts to have something I can fix rather than write from scratch.

This one is from past even the currently planned six stories, taking place in 1890. For reference, piece three, Base Instruments, is in 1883. As I think I've mentioned, Bernie suggested that at one point Mrs. Hawking and Mary have a break where after an intense emotional blowup, they part ways and work separately. Mary and Arthur go off to America for a while, until an adventure in 1890 brings them back to England. This scene shows Mary and Nathaniel discussing something of how things have been in the two or so years since they last saw each other. I don't know much yet, but here's some issues they have to address.
