I love the Lincoln Lawyer show and thought I would take the bullet and read the books (I don't enjoy reading legal dramas). I started with Book 4. Michael Haller is whipped. Maggie McPherson has him in a hold.
"I looked up to see my ex-wife slide into the booth next to our daughter. She landed a kiss on Hayley’s cheek before the girl could go on the defensive. She was at that age. I wished Maggie had slid into my side of the booth and planted one on me. But I could wait."
They have been divorced for 8 years at this point (having also been married for 8), and he still refers to her as his ex-wife who he still loves.
They still hook up. At least 3 different times in this one book, Maggie or Mickey initiate sex just for being with the other person. There is no emotional turmoil etc that leads to it. Just... let's have sex.
""Marry me again, Maggie."
“Do I have to answer right now? Is it a one-time thing or can I think about it?”
“I can’t think of being with anybody else.”"
And it is canon that Maggie hates public displays of affection, Mickey still kisses her in public. They had a vanilla sort of sex life. Maggie likes it when they're walking and Mickey puts his hand on the back of her neck. She calls him Haller and Michael and is still very much in love with Mickey and initiates contact with him.
He has made peace with the fact that they will never get back together.
“can we pretend this never happened?” + Maggie and Mickey?
ehehe this is a gooood one. I'm setting this in s1, right at the end of Chaos Theory. Like yes this is already in my top 3 McHaller scenes but also. I can make it even more insane
Mickey takes Maggie into his arms without thinking, the look on his face spurring action from his heart rather than his mind. "You were trying to do the right thing," he assures her, rubbing her back. "Getting the witness to talk is your job."
"It's my fault he's dead," she says, her voice choked and her face buried in his shoulder.
Mickey shakes his head. "You didn't pull the trigger."
"He had a daughter, Mickey. Fuck, Hayley was... she saw the whole thing. I couldn't get her out of there while everything was happening..."
"She's okay, Mags," he reminds her. "She's safe. I know you didn't want her there, but she's thirteen, it's not our fault she does what she wants."
Maggie looks up at him, her brow furrowing with doubt. "I can't get him out of my head, I don't even want to know how Hayley's doing."
"She's doing alright," Mickey insists, cupping Maggie's face in his hands and tucking her hair away from her face. "It's not your fault," he repeats. He wants to pull her closer, but they're already flush against each other. Mickey risks leaning in, his eyes on Maggie's the whole time.
Her eyes, on the other hand, flick down to his lips as he ducks his head. He skirts his fingers along her jaw, tilting her chin up when he finally leans down to kiss her.
It lasts longer than he could've expected, and to his surprise, Maggie is holding almost as tightly to him as he is to her. When they do have to breathe, they end up just staring at each other, and Maggie bites her lip, the anxiety returning to her face.
"I'm sorry--"
"No, don't," he protests, cutting her off. He's not sure if he should apologize or just tell her they don't need to be sorry at all, but they're interrupted before he can decide.
"Woah, okay," Hayley says. Maggie whips toward her so fast that Mickey actually stumbles when she leaves his arms. "What's happening?"
"Nothing's happening," Maggie answers quickly. "You didn't need to call your dad, honey, it's not your job to worry about me."
"Yeah, that's why she called me," Mickey interrupts, brushing his hand against the small of Maggie's back in the hopes of calming her down. "It's my job. What about you, Hayley, do you want a hot drink or something? I know it's been a long day."
Hayley shrugs. "I dunno. I already have a therapist. It didn't really feel, like, real? Could've just been a 9-1-1 episode."
Mickey looks between her and Maggie, who looks flushed and a little ill. He's not sure either of them are as okay as they're professing to be.
"I'm making hot chocolate," he announces decisively. He ushers Hayley into the kitchen, relieved to see her smile, but her mother doesn't follow. "Mags?" He calls, while he's filling the kettle. "You coming?"
Maggie hovers in the doorway. "I already have a drink," she points out, lifting her half-full wine glass.
If he had to guess, he would be doubtful that's her first glass-- the bottle had been sitting on the coffee table, not to mention he'd tasted the wine when he'd kissed her. "Come on," he says, shaking his head. "Nothing wrong with a nice warm drink on a bad day, is there?"
She tosses back the last of the wine and then makes her way into the kitchen. "No, there isn't."
Mickey takes her hand in his as she tries to slip past him. "Let me take care of you," he murmurs, nearly whispering in her ear. She turns to look at him with clear resistance in her eyes. "Okay?"
Maggie pulls her hand away, but nods, her eyes toward the floor. "Okay."
Later, when Hayley has rebounded enough to no longer want the company of her parents, Mickey begins trying to clean up, gathering mugs and spoons off the table.
"You don't have to do that," Maggie sighs.
Mickey shrugs. "It's fine. I was just going to pop them in the dishwasher."
"Really, Mick," Maggie insists, standing and taking a mug from him. "I think you should go."
He frowns. "I was thinking I should hang around for a bit."
She shakes her head. "I don't want to talk tonight, about any of this... can we pretend this never happened?"
It's a slap to the face, but Mickey isn't willing to risk upsetting Maggie even more tonight. "If that's what you want."
Maybe he'll get an apology a week from now with the excuse of her being out of her mind tonight. It's happened before.
"I need some time to myself," Maggie says, nodding slowly.
Mickey frowns. "Are you sure you want to be alone?"
"No," Maggie says quietly, "but not being alone is a bad idea, too. And at least I know right now that when I wake up tomorrow this will all be a little further behind me." She gives him a pointed look.
He gets it. She wants him behind her too, and it doesn't matter that he doesn't want the same. It's not a good idea, like she'd said.
"You need anything," he sighs, "you call me."
Maggie gives him a wry smile. "I don't know about that."
"Goodnight, Mags." He leans in and kisses her cheek as he hands her the last mug.
She lays a hand firmly against his shoulder but doesn't quite push him away. "Go say goodnight to Hayley before I kick you out of the house."
"Seriously," he says, backing out of the kitchen, "call me."
"Goodnight, Mickey."
He sighs, wishing they were still standing in the living room holding onto each other. "Goodnight."
