As agreed, Marcus stopped by the supermarket so Fil could buy ingredients to make hangover soup for Elise. She told him she could do it herself, but he insisted on helping her. After all, Elise was deep asleep in the car and it would be quick.
Fil didn't want to look defensive and if he was serious with Elise, she didn't want to have any awkwardness between them. Hence, she agreed. Their time in the supermarket was quick and Marcus simply showed little interest in everything she was buying, telling her so he knew what to buy once he needed to make it himself.
So far, Marcus kept a safe distance from her. And because of that, they were able to buy the ingredients as quickly as possible. Once they finished, they returned to the car and drove a few more minutes to Elise's home.
