AN: Hello. Sorry that I haven't updated for a little while. But I have been slightly busy.

Mary...
Dinner with Danny, his father and his fiancée had passed virtually uneventful. If by event, you mean occasional "so how have you been?" Then it would be very eventful. Mary had been fidgeting all through the event. Her desire to tell Danny about Jennifer was enormous. Though, her heart said differently. Danny's father had been great to her! He was nice, generous, and he was a brilliant father to Danny. He had been like a second father to her, taken her in whenever she needed to have time away from her father and had taken her in fully when the police got involved. He had taken it harshly when Danny's mother had died and she did not want him to take it harshly upon finding out that this... thing... was doing a double marriage. Mary wondered if Jennifer was actually going to marry both Danny's father and Luis...
But anyway, this story is about Danny and Mary. Mary and Danny had been glancing at each other over the table and smiling at each other all night.
"So have you decided a date for your big event?" Jennifer asked. The glare she gave Mary was enough to shut Mary up for that moment.
"Not yet no." Danny replied. He did not seem to notice the glare Jennifer had shot Mary. If he had noticed then he did not say anything. He seemed far more interested in his thoughts...
Danny...
She seems thoughtful tonight. Danny thought as he watched his fiancée carefully. I do not think she likes Jennifer much. And the glare Jennifer just gave Mary... If looks could kill then I think that they may have killed each other off when we walked through the door. To be truthful, I do not exactly like her either. She seems like a suspicious character to me. But I suppose that if she makes my father happy then I'm happy for them.
Danny's thoughts were interrupted by Mary kicking him under the table. He looked around. No-one seemed to be staring so he didn't think it was important. He looked at Mary who had her head tilted somewhat. Danny took this as an 'I want to get out of here as soon as I can' sort of gesture. He ignored it for that moment.
After dinner, they had cleaned the table and were having coffee in the living room. Danny had always hoped that he and his father would spend more time together to catch up. But now that he and his father were spending time, he could not think of anything to say.
Danny looked at Mary. She was making that head gesture towards the side again. Danny decided that she was right.
"Well anyway," Danny began, "I think that it's about time for Mary and me to leave." He and Mary stood up. "Thankyou for dinner and coffee." He said gratefully to his father and Jennifer, who also stood.
.::At home::.
Danny had been staying at Mary's house recently. They had planned to move into Danny's house after the wedding because there was more space, etc... Danny and Mary entered and went into separate rooms until Danny walked into the kitchen where Mary was unpacking the bag from the seven/ eleven where they had stopped for a few minutes.
"So why did you want to leave so early?" He asked her as he placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed her forehead gently. He pulled some hair back and placed it behind her ear.
"I just felt tired." Mary said quietly as she placed an item or two in the fridge.
"Do you want me to take you to the doctor or anything? You have been tired for the past few days..." Danny enquired caringly.
"No." Mary said as she shook her head violently. "I haven't been getting much sleep lately."
"You go to bed." Danny said gently. ""I'll put these away." He gestured to the bags. "I have a little work to do anyway."
"Okay..." She said as Danny kissed her on the forehead gently. She left a minute later.
"Love you!" She called out behind her.
"Love you too!" Danny called back.
