(Subplot) A Naked Guest

Sure enough, after walking for another ten minutes or so, a farm house came into Maggie's view. It was a quaint and old fashioned looking place, though bigger than she had been expecting. She made her way up the path to the entrance and knocked on the door. There was an audible shuffling of feet from inside before it creaked open to reveal a large, homely looking middle aged woman.

"Oh, hello darlin'" the woman smiled, eyeing Maggie's naked body up and down with obvious surprise while trying not to look thrown by it "How can I help you?"

"I've gotten myself a little lost, and I'm trying to find a way to get back to my apartment on the city" Maggie explained, telling maybe half the truth "I was hoping you could help me!"

"Well of course, come on in my dear!"

Maggie walked through into a home that looked like it probably hadn't changed much since at least the seventies. It seemed there were four people living here -- the woman's husband, adult son and adult daughter, along with an adorable shaggy dog that ran straight over to Maggie and began licking at her feet as she crouched down and stroked it's back. This was the most people she had been around since losing her clothes, and she was trying her best not to feel self conscious. Both the husband and son were openly and unashamedly ogling her naked body.

"Can I get you something to wear? A dressing gown at least?" the woman asked.

"No, thank you!" Maggie raised her hand to refuse the gesture. She would have loved a dressing gown, but if it disappeared like Nicole's jacket had before then she wasn't quite sure where that would leave her with these people "I'm a nudist. I'm fine!"

"I can respect that. I only wish I had your confidence - and your body, of course" the woman answered "What's your name?"

"Maggie"

"It's nice to make your acquaintance Maggie, I'm Ruthie" the woman smiled warmly "I tell you what, I'm about to put on some dinner. Why don't you stay here in the guest room for the night and Clayton can give you a lift back to wherever it is you need to go tomorrow morning?"

Maggie considered this for a moment. Her work were going to think she had done a runner during the fire alarm. Technically she had. But it didn't feel like she was in a position to refuse this offer,

"That's very kind of you, thank you!"

"Come on, I'll show you to your room. I'd offer to help you with your belongings but you seem to travel pretty light!"

Maggie smiled politely and looked at her phone as she followed Ruthie up the stairs. Still no reception. She was not only naked but completely cut off from the outside world here. But she had made her choice now, she was going to have to see it through and hope this worked out for her.
