Morgana beat Merlin home from work. That wasn’t unusual. What was unusual is that he didn’t follow a few minutes later. Morgana had kicked off her shoes and poured two glasses of wine then sat on the sofa. She turned on the telly and began watching.

After half an hour, she got worried. She called Merlin and got no answer, so she turned back to the telly and forced herself to not bite her nails.

Another half hour later, Morgana was about to pick up her phone and call again, when Merlin walked through the door. Morgana zapped the telly off and turned to him. “Merlin, are you all right? What happened?”

Merlin sighed and sat his bag down. “I witnessed a horrible car crash, so I had to stay and talk to the police.”

Morgana walked over to him and put her arms around him. “It was pretty bad, huh?”

Merlin returned her embrace. “The two cars involved were complete wrecks.”

“I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Are you all right?”

“I’m fine, just a little shaken. It really wasn’t a pretty sight. I’m pretty sure both drivers are dead.”

“Come, sit down. I’m getting you a glass of wine.”

Merlin sighed. “Okay.”

They talked for a while after that, about what Merlin had witnessed. Morgana held his hand the entire time. When he’d talked enough, they dialed for dinner and had a quiet night at home.
