✣history ✣
Marlowe was adopted by her dads when she was around 3 years old. Her previous parents had to get rid of her as they couldn't handle a child financially, so Marlowe was sent away along with her biological sister, Maeve. Everyone was so close, and Marlowe and Maeve's dads would take them out for ice cream every Tuesday night. Fridays were days when everyone went out to do something fun together, like an escape room or an ice cream parlor where you can make your own cone, and put on as many toppings as you like. Marlowe and Maeve wanted to do everything with their dads. They forgot all about being adopted and just wanted to spend every moment they could in their parent's arms.
As the sisters got older, Maeve began to explore the world of dating people. Maeve tried to find Marlowe a boyfriend, but Marlowe kindly refused, knowing that she wouldn't be able to handle a relationship with someone just yet. Maeve was fine with that though, as she wasn't going to force her sister into anything. Maeve met this one guy who wasn't exactly the best person, but that only made Maeve more attracted to him. The guy was involved in drug dealing and robbery, and the police were trying to trace him. They eventually found out that Maeve was dating him, and pointed a gun at Marlowe's sister while they were out shopping. The officer had demanded that Maeve come with him, but Maeve refused, saying she did nothing wrong, and stepped towards the officer. He threatened to shoot Maeve if she didn't come with him, but Maeve refused, saying she had no clue about what her boyfriend was doing. Marlowe had tried to tell the officer that he was confused, but he threatened to shoot Marlowe as well. When Maeve continued to say she did nothing wrong and that she wanted proof, the officer shot her in the chest. Marlowe had screamed and ran towards the officer with a high heel she had bought, but was shot in the arm before she could hurt the officer. She was able to recover though, as the bullet hadn't hit anything too important. Marlowe lived with her dads in their house for a while while she was getting better. After fully recovering, Marlowe returned to her empty house, which seemed so dull and lifeless as nobody had been inside since Maeve was killed. She began to hang out in a bar and developed an alcohol addiction. There, Marlowe met Ephraim, who immediately seduced Marlowe with his good looks and smooth talking. Many of Ephraim's past lovers warned Marlowe that he was no good, but Marlowe refused to listen to them, as she desperately needed someone to warm up her life. Marlowe became extremely attached to this man. She confessed that she was in love, and wanted to marry Ephraim. He agreed, and not too long after the wedding, Marlowe said she wanted children with Ephraim. He once again agreed. After giving birth, Ephraim began to seem very controlling over his children. He talked about how desperately he wanted to plan out his children's lives, and all the plans he had for them. Marlowe couldn't say anything though, as she knew Ephraim would get mad at her. After their youngest child, Adley, began to grow up and develop a personality, Marlowe quickly fell in love with who her son had become and felt sorry for them, as Ephraim shouldn't have so much control over someone's life. The two would go out a lot, and Marlowe treated Adley exactly how her dads treated her. Marlowe would take Adley out for ice cream every Tuesday night, and to do something fun every Friday.
