Marcus smiled back. “Another little trick is if you don't have these nifty crackers, you can slide a tine of your fork down the edge and create a seam.” he said as he offered the fork with crab meat to her.

She took the fork gently and looked up at Marcus " I take it you've had this quite q bit? "

“I guess you could say that. I've definitely had seafood on more than one occasion.” he shrugged. “Living this close to the water, it's pretty common.”

"Sounds nice actually. " Maria brought the piece to her mouth and tried it

“I think it is.” he agreed with a smile. “Though you do get used to it after a while.”

"Okay so I like crab. " she said laughing

“Good.” Marcus grinned. “Here, you can have the rest of this leg and I’ll have the calamari.”

"Are you sure? "

“Yeah, I'm sure.” he nodded. “There's more than one leg and this way you don't have to break so much of the shell.” he assured her.

"Well thank you. " she said smiling a little and taking another bite

“My pleasure.” he smiled back at her as he took a piece of the calamari.

"I'm surprised I like this. "

“Really? Why surprised?” he asked.

"Well I usually don't like new things. "

Marcus nodded thoughtfully. “Huh. At all or just trying certain new things?”

"Well I talked myself into going on vacation so I guess just certain things. " she said laughing

He chuckled a little and nodded. “That's fair. Not everyone likes to try new stuff. Personally, I don't like those loop-de-loop roller coasters. It felt like there was so much pressure on my neck.” he admitted.

She looked away and smiled nervously "I've never been on one I'm to cowardice. "

“I doubt you're a coward. After all, you got on an airplane to come here.” he encouraged. “But I don't blame you about loop-de-loop roller coasters.” he chuckled.

"I did get on a plane but I also had multiple panic attacks and I almost peed myself twice. " she covered her mouth trying to hold back her laughter

Marcus snorted into his drink, feeling the alcohol burn his nose as he held back his laughter. “I… I’m sorry.” he choked out. “That… I wasn't expecting that last part.”

"I wasn't planning to say that part out loud." She said laughing

“I bet.” he nodded. “It's probably the booze. Makes a lot of people say things they don't plan to. Or do things they wouldn't normally.”

"Ah maybe… It's good though so I don't really care. " she smiled a bit as she noticed her face getting warmer she couldn't tell if it was the alcohol or if she was bushing

Marcus laughed softly and nodded. “I guess I don't either but I won't bring it back up later.” he promised.
