"Jesus woman slow down!" Ace fired out as he watched Marian practically engulf the food in front of her.
The clothes Ace gave her hanging off her like a baggy mess as she looked up, mouth full of food. He gave her a small smile as he reached over and wiped some sauce off her chin.
"Who am I to argue with a pregnant murderer." He mumbled as she continued to devour her food.

"You figured out what you're gonna do?" He asked her as the pair lay comfortably in his bed.
Marian shrugged. "I'm wanted for murder, unmarried and pregnant. I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow."
"You forgot hiding from your own family, including the father of said unborn baby." Ace added as he quickly received a smack. "You thought about telling the truth? Surely the cops will believe you?"

Eyeball stumbled back slightly. "I wanna find Marian."
