Tomas is Maggie's first love. They met in class one
day in January 1994. Maggie fell hard for Tomas, but
he tried to push her away because of his family
problems. When he finally came clean about
everything with Maggie, he was able to commit
himself to a relationship. They began dating and were
very happy together.
In August, Angela Corelli, the mother of Tomas's daughter Luisa, came to town intent on winning Tomas back. Although Tomas assured Maggie that their relationship could still work, he was forced to leave her and marry Angela when it looked like he would lose custody of his daughter if he didn't.
Tomas and Angela never consummated their relationship. Eventually
Tomas discovered that Angela had married him just so that she
would be eligible for an inheritance. He dumped her, and Maggie
flew into his waiting arms. They made love in a barn a few months
later.
By the summer of 1995, Maggie
began to get very frustrated with
Tomas, who was trying to hold down a job and schoolwork and
who couldn't devote as much time to her as she wanted. Her
attention strayed in the direction of Nick Hudson, a young punk with
a chip on his shoulder the size of Maggie's ego.
She found him
terribly exciting and rubbed herself up against him at every
opportunity. Yet she still wanted Tomas as her boyfriend. Maggie
began exhibiting schizophrenic tendencies as she schemed to get
*both* Nick and Tomas, at the same time. When they found out, they dumped her
unceremoniously.
