Maria came out of her room, close behind Jack.

She brushed his shoulder as she passed him, and Jack extended his hand tentatively, taking hers.

Maria stopped, and took a deep breath.

When she turned back around, she murmured, "I'm sorry, for the way I acted."

Jack brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and cupped her face in his hands. "You have nothing to be sorry for."

Maria didn't smile, but she looked happier than she had before.

The bedraggled hair and dark circles under her eyes made Jack want to scream at something.

He came back to reality when he noticed her coming closer...

And closer...

Her lips brushed against his tentatively, and then she was gone.

Jack stood there, a little shocked, as they had been fighting last night.

"Maria?"

Why was she acting so different?

She normally stuck to her position on an argument...

She didn't apologize, unless...

Set's death had broken her inside.

"Maria?"

Or something else was going on with her...
