Meg pondered on how she was going to approach Tosh for so long that Harm pretty much forgot about the discussion they had had. Besides, his own heart was still in shreds from Meg's disclosure. But they all had their jobs to do. Harm fished in the backyard pond/lake, And Mac did her best to annoy Phil. But dinner-time was the toughest time of all, when everyone would trickle in, sit down at the table and eat their meals. Meg tried to get in quickly, grab a left-over meal, eat and then disappear back into her room, when she wasn't at work. Harm could barely even be in the same room as Meg after that disclosure, so he usually waited until she was done eating - getting ready to get up and leave, then come in and grab his meal so that he could eat it in peace without the heart-ache.
Evidently the only person who was aware of the fact that there was tension going on between Harm, Meg and Tosh was Liandra and she had already said her piece to Tosh, not that it had done much in the way of alleviating the strained-relations between the three.
Tosh spent the next day collecting rocks and gemstones to sell at the Apothecary near Pinochle Pond, talking to young Ms. Espinosa who seemed to be rather bored most of the time. On occasion, he'd make a decent sale. But the money maker was the tiberium that he cut and sold himself.
In the evenings, he would come home and spend time with Kimber.
During the daytime on the weekends, he would cut gemstones, which annoyed the living daylights out of Jen who didn't appreciate Tosh cutting them right under her bedroom. But unfortunately the gemstones were the big money-makers in the family and that kept the bills paid and the roof over their heads. So they would have to deal with the noise from the gem-cutter
Mac wasn't restricting being annoying to just Phil either, as she started pestering Liandra about running around the house with her nightie on. Liandra took offence and they had an argument.
The one thing that always seemed to happen was the computer breaking - the same computer, on two consecutive days. That didn't make Tosh a very happy camper at all.
The weekend was spent outside; Sturgis and Mac ended up having a water-balloon fight which was much better than Mac picking fights with Phil or Liandra.
Jen played with the chicks and milked the cow.
Harm went fishing...in his underwear...as usual. Hey, gratuitous hot bod shot for the ladies, I'm sure Meg and Mac enjoyed the view when Meg wasn't sighing over Tosh and crying in her cups...(I'll stop right there before I make a wisecrack...related to other things other than what you drink out of...dam-it...walked right into that one too).
And, any time that Kimber, Tosh, Meg...and whoever else were at the dining table...well, Meg ignored Tosh and Kimber, Keeter drooled over Meg, and Meg did her best to ignore Keeter as well...who was busy leering at Meg...
