[Maria has never really expected much from men. which many of them would doubt considering how she treats them when they have money. she'd say she expects some respect and if they don't have it for her then she just doesn't have it for them. nobody needs to worship her or lavish expensive gifts to make her happy. she'd enjoyed her cheap breakfasts at denny's with Adam more than she ever had her expensive dinners with other men.

but she couldn't deny she wanted to be someone's whole world and it seemed like Adam was willing to make her that. or close to it. this suited her just fine. she could do the same for Adam.]

I didn't plan it either. I just thought maybe we'd watch a movie or something. But that's life for you and now we're having a bath together. So come on, lover boy, we'll work with what we got. You have shampoo, right? We'll use those for bubbles. [she's already gone to the bathroom, assuming he'll be following. maybe she hadn't planned on this but it seemed like a nice way to end the night. she usually couldn't watch a movie all the way through anyway.]
