Soon after, Slim falls in love with and marries Mitch, and they have a child named Gracie.

Years later, Slim finds out Mitch has been cheating on her with a French woman named Darcelle. She confronts him, and he admits it, also insisting Darcelle means nothing to him. Slim becomes angry and threatens to leave, which enrages Mitch, who slaps and punches her in the face. He gives her a warning, saying that he makes the money and gets to do whatever he likes, implying he expects his infidelity to continue uncontested.

Mitch refuses to stop his affair unless she wants to fight him. He further intimidates her by saying "I'm a man.
