Mari smiled when Dumas said he surrendered to her hospitality. "Good. That's better", she replied, a genuinely happy smile on her face. It was obvious she wanted to be able to do what she did best, and that she appreciated Dumas' willingness to let her do it.<br/><br/>When he made the choice for a glass of water, Mari nodded and went to the fridge for it, setting it on the table by the plate. She watched as Dumas tasted the steak and her smile grew wider. The hostess felt really proud of herself for managing to please Dumas, as she sat down across the small table. "I'm so glad you like it. But you don't have to sleep in the hallway. The floor of my bedroom will do just fine", she stated playfully. It was obvious that being on her element, as a caregiver, made Mari more relaxed.<br/><br/>She sat there quietly for a while after these words and just watched as Dumas ate. His question made Mari chuckle a little. She pretended to be immersed in serious consideration for a few moments. Then, she laughed softly. "I don't think so. I mean, you already know I snore like a wild beast and that's the reason why I'm not married." With a sigh, Mari shrugged her shoulders. "Really... you can ask me anything. I may not know much of it, though." She stood up and start washing what she had used to cook. As she did so, the words just came out, as though she really needed to get them off her chest. "You really wanna know why I'm not married, right? I... God, who in the world would want a crazy chick, with a bitchy second personality?", Mari asked, stopping to pour herself some water and take a few sips. "Sorry, Dum. Just... forget I said this. Finish your meal, and relax. Would you like to take a nap when you're done? There's not much to do right now", she corrected herself, standing up behind Dumas and placing her hands on his shoulders. "Just relax today, okay? You look tired, darling."
