they began to finish up the rest of their plates. the rain looked like it wasn't going to stop anytime soon which worked for ash. sleeping to the sound of heavy rain and thunder always put her quick to sleep. not to mention she was quickly becoming exhausted from the after effects of the adrenaline high. she walked back out to join the group who were now broken up. vince and lorraine had remained downstairs. carl and the girls were now gone. "thank you for doing that." she said with a smile "now, i oughta apologise. i had assumed you both were married earlier. we only do have that one room left. i would never otherwise think to have a couple sleeping so close together while not married i wouldn't ask of any proper woman to do that. there is some room in the girls' room i could change around the..."<br/>
<br/>
"lorraine do remember we've only met them two hours ago." vince said stubbornly, giving the woman a look that even lorraine was hesitant about. <br/>
<br/>
"no no it's fine we'll uh make it work out. when i'm around him anyways i just always make sure to say an extra hail mary." she said quickly and offered both a smile. vince seemed to untense a little bit more as lorraine gave ash a regretful look. "but with that being said i know i at least better be off. it's been a bit of a day. thank you so much for your hospitality, i don't know how we can really make it up to you all but i do promise we will eventually." she hoped she could promise that. <br/>
<br/>
ash turned and headed upstairs to the room they had been shown earlier. it was a small room littered with junk and storage items from the family.  a couple of chairs were around the room. most torn looking but still decent compared to how the house looked. "well, if you don't want to compromise your morals i'd be willing to sleep on the floor." she said to jacob as he walked into the room. she had the unfortunate luck to have slept in many odd places even before the apocalypse. admittedly many of the times she didn't know exactly how she got there.<br/>
