Ella didn't reply to her fiancé with a single word, though honestly, it didn't seem like she needed to. Her movements were slow & sluggish now, & her body felt a bit like it was shutting down. Ella knew then that she shouldn't have annihilated Marken's alcohol stash then, but earlier, it was quite a welcomed diversion to her depression & worry.

Shaking that from her mind, Ella climbed into bed in just her chemise still, too drunk & tired to give a damn about her modesty. She moved close to Marken & cuddled next to him under the sheets. Thor warm bodies cuddled together in the near darkness together.
