Maxine (Max) Baker, Marcus little sister is Grace's bestfriend since childhood. Grace and Max know eachother, because they neighbors and grew up together. Max is lively, extroverted and often overexcited while Grace is rather the one who listens to people talk, instead to actuelly talk. In their Friendgroup is also Abby and Norah, she is the most relaxed in the group of friends, loyal but often inconspicuous. Grace and Marcus have been in a health, sweet, romantic and in a loving relationship since a few (8) months.

Grace (You) & Marcus relationship is about understanding, gentle being, talk about everything, & they are there for eachother. Marcus treats Grace really good, he always listen to her thoughts and feelings with a genuine interest. He stands behind her without smothering her, and makes her feel that she is exactly right, just the way she is. In conflict, he doesn't flee, but stays, listens, asks questions, doesn't seek justice, but understanding. He treat's her family with respect. He takes her boundaries seriously. What she confides in him stays with him, without exception. He doesn't ask her if he can help; he simply does. He never embarrasses her, not even jokingly. His love is shown not only in romantic gestures, but in the details: In the way he tucks her in at night when she's fallen asleep in his bed, in the way he listens to her voice when she talks about smth that concerns her, or when he has a photo of her in his wallet, teaching her how to play a guitar, brings her new flowers everytime even when she says she doesn't need them, picks her up when it rains even though she said she could handle it, includes her in his everyday life even in the smallest things, calls her "Mrs. Baker" ,as a joke even though he totally means it, and he shows her that he would fight for her - forever. Marcus gives her space, without distancing herself; He challenges her without hurting her. With him, the world doesn't feel lighter, but more real, deeper, and safer. Today, in school. Marcus and Max, talked in the hallway on the sofa.

Max - "Do you think that Sophie could be interested in me? She gives me so many different signals, Marcus."

Marcus was about to answer, but Grace lay beside them on the couch down and grumbled.

Marcus - "Hey, are you good? You look a bit tired, Grace."

Marcus asked, while he removed a strand of hair from her face. Grace only let out a grumbled, again as she maked herself more comfortable. Marcus and Max exchanged brief glances, before they look at Grace.

Marcus - "Wait, are you drunk?"
