It’s another #DarkShadows double-birthday with David Selby (Quentin Collins 1-973) and Stefan Gierasch (#DarkShadowsRevival’s Professor Michael Woodard and Joshua Collins)
We're taking a little time off for Thanksgiving, but we'll see you soon in our 60s timeline.
From our Dark Shadows family to yours, have a happy Thanksgiving!
@CyrusLongworth@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT Quentin gave his friend a weak smile, “I owe you!” He said with a pat on the shoulder, “If there’s anything I can ever do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me.” He looked over at Maggie and took a deep sigh. (2/2)
@CyrusLongworth@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT Quentin watched as Maggie went peacefully bad to sleep and sighed, speaking in a low voice so he wouldn’t wake her. “Aside from blaming myself every minute of everyday…I’m great.” He said in a bitter voice, “I want to thank you for being here.” (1/2)
@CyrusLongworth@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT He couldn’t believe it came to this. It should have been him. He wished it was him. Quentin was self centered but this time he wasn’t thinking about himself. He was thinking about Maggie. (2/2)
@CyrusLongworth@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT “I know, you take your work very seriously.” He said when he finished examining the pill bottles. He sighed then met Cyrus’ eyes with his blue ones, still sad and guilty, “How often should I give her the medication?” He asked as his head began to spin. (1/2)
@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT He was so nervous to touch her…to even talk to her. He did this. He vowed on their wedding day to protect her and rather than protect her he had brought harm to her. He was thankful that he could still hold her in his arms. They got to the room and he set her on the bed. (2/2)
@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT A smile immediately crossed Quentin’s face as Maggie agreed to his request. She looked so small and broken as he lifted her small body into his arms. He leaned in for a kiss as he carefully carried her up the stairs, “I hope I’m not causing you more pain, darling.” (1/2)
@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT He suffered some cuts but Maggie took the blunt of his irresponsible ways. He had to change…if not for himself then for her. He knelt by her side as if he was at her mercy. (2/2)
@MrsMaggieColl@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT Quentin had came back into the drawing room and directly to her side, “Your room is ready, darling.��� He said sweetly as he took her hand. “Can you climb the stairs or should I carry you just like I did when we wed?” He was unusually sweet. His tone loving. (1/2)
@Trask1970PT@JuliaDHoffmanPT He had only peaked in the room and was surprisingly satisfied. The servants had made the room to his liking and fit for a mistress of Collinwood. The servants did her proud. He had hoped she would be comfortable. He was nervous about her being home. (2/3)
@MrsMaggieColl Once he notices her struggled he quickly helps her sit up and places a pillow behind her. “Everything you need will be at Collinwood, I promise you. I won’t let you down.” He kisses her hand before going to get her discharge instructions.
Quentin still felt the same guilt he had felt right after the accident. His wife, @MrsMaggieColl lay in her hospital bed still in a coma and doctors weren’t providing much hope at this point. Since then Quentin had not left her bedside. He needed to be there for her. (1/2)
@MrsMaggieColl It sickened him when he looked up at all the IV’s and monitors she was on. Of course he could pull strings and get the same equipment for her room at Collinwood. But he didn’t want to pressure her. “I’ll be right here…I won’t leave.” (2/2)
@MrsMaggieColl Quentin pulled back so he could hold her hand tightly again. He wanted her home but he didn’t want to rush her, “You can stay in the hospital if that makes you more comfortable…” he paused only to kiss her hand, “I don’t want you to feel pressured to leave.” (1/2)
@MrsMaggieColl “Are you up to the ride home?” He asked with concern, seeing how sick she still looked. He didn’t want to move her before she was ready. He leans down to kiss the top of her head. There were scratches and bruises on her face and it just reminded him of what he had done.
