The days since Maddox had left had left Marin feeling some type of way. If you asked she'd say she was fine, yet, the harsh reality of it all were that she wasn't at all. The 'break up' as she'd been referring to it had been nasty in her mind; a night shared in between the sheets and the confession they'd never been more than just a good time had left Marin feeling shattered, though, she'd never admit to it out loud. So to nurse the pain she'd been binge drinking, working a ton, doing anything she could to stay busy. Though that busy looked a lot like searching for answers in all the wrong places as she'd plopped herself at the bar top of High Pulse. Only after spending a few hours at Wingman's indulging in half price steins. It was only when the face of Jasper - replacing the blonde that had served her her drink upon arrival, she lifted the glass, finishing off the contents before slamming it on the counter top eagerly. "Well if it isn't my favorite ex-boyfriend." she spoke, words a little slurred as she'd clearly been doing this for awhile. "Give me 'nother, bartender."

"So." Haven paused, watching her twin brother as he relaxed against her couch, clearly exhausted looking from the amount of twirling he'd just done with Jesse before placing the child on the ground. The boys being able to sit up unassisted now made everything easier; gave her the freedom to sit close by but keep her hands free. It was nice to feel like she had a part of herself back. "What are the chances you'd be comfortable enough to take a trip home with us?" she questioned, eyes focusing on Jasper. "I considered planning a trip for everyone over Julian's break this holiday season and of course I want to make it a whole family thing." she exhaled. "Me, Julian, the boys, Noah, you.." she paused. "Do you want to come along or -' she didn't want to make things harder for him, but, she did want to spend the holidays in her hometown in Boston with her brothers.

The last thing that Marin wanted to deal with was another car issue. She guessed that's what she got for not taking the time research a car before she bought it, especially when this one had only cost her an entire week's worth of work. That should've been all the more reason for her to realize it wasn't something that would be reliable. But, it beat walking around town like she'd been doing basically since she arrived. With that said, she didn't expect to be standing on the side of the road, after a long shift, trying to make her way home. She wasn't really paying attention, instead just trying to find the source of what the problem could be, which was not something she knew; Marin wasn't the best with cars. She hadn't even noticed that someone had pulled up behind her. "Oh, great." she smiled. "I was just about to call for help but maybe you know more about cars than I do."

It had been a particularly late night at the parlor and she'd locked up after what felt like an hour after her last client left she'd finished cleaning up the shop and had locked up. She hated leaving this late; while she could hold her own something about traveling alone this late at night with a flickering street light. Kind of made her skin crawl when she thought about it hard enough. Her hands dug into her purse, fingers wrapping around the cigarette pack; within a moment the stick was pressed between her lips, the flame illuminating the tip as she walked. She'd decided to walk today, giving her older car a break in an attempt to 'become healthier' though the cigarette in her mouth was reason enough for anyone to argue. In true Marin fashion, though, she hadn't checked the weather and just as she was getting readjusted to walking in the heels she'd worn, the sky opened up and the rain came down like a blanket, drenching her and her cigarette within seconds. She paused, using the moment to exhale as she paused, deciding if she should turn around and go back to the shop to wait it out, or if she should just keep going at this point, though she barely had the time to make a decision before she heard something in the distance. A small hint of what sounded like an animal sound. She took a step forward, the sound becoming more clear - a cat - though her eyes began searching for the sound. Making a clicking sound with her tongue she listened, realizing a moment later the sound was coming from a drain. Phone barely covered by her hands, Marin let herself shine her flashlight, the light shining on the cat's eyes. "Oh, hi." she spoke softly. "I'll get you out, hang on."

"You want to hold him?" she asked as she looked at her brother, eyes searching his face for any sort of an answer. The two had been working on rebuilding their relationship since his promise to remain in town, and she had to say she was happy with how things were so far. He'd been bonding with Lake more - which of course had included Lake's favorite game of all time, Mario Kart - and of course he'd been there since before the twins were born, which had resulted in him being able to watch them grow too. It really was a breath of fresh air in it's own way. "He's also hungry so if you want to bottle feed him I'll let you." she shrugged, thankful that neither twin cared how they were fed as long as they were eating every three hours, nearly on the dot. "Your call though if you'd rather me do it just say the word but you may end up with this one." she nodded towards her son that was sprawled across her lap. "May be your last chance to get a baby snuggle in before Lake steals you again."

"I have to say, I don't know what boss man was thinking when he told you that I'd be doing this tattoo for you." Her back was still turned to the table as she allowed herself to move towards the sink, washing away any remnants of the sandwich she had just finished, a box of pink gloves she'd insisted on Omar buying when he'd hired her on the shelf close by. Nimble fingers reached into the box, pulling out two of them and pulling them over her hands before she exhaled, tossing a playful laugh towards the other as she gathered more supplies. "I'm no tattoo artist, just a piercer so unless you want a smiley face I wouldn't trust me with that gun." a pause. "A shiny silver ring on your d-" though her voice stopped as she turned fully around this time, eyes falling on none other than the man that had broken her heart in Alabama all those years ago. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"In the off chance I planned something for our thirty seventh birthday." Haven paused, eyes rose as she looked at her brother. "Something like a dinner, maybe a night on the town." she paused. "Would you hate that?" she questioned, thankful to be in a position in their lives again where they could celebrate their birthdays together. "I was thinking maybe if you were up to it we could do karaoke or something. I don't think I've done that since college and it sounds like it would be fun to do it with my twin." she shrugged. "Only if you want."
