Mattie felt a smug smile spreading across her face when Alice called her a bitch. She couldn't help it. It was just so satisfying to see that she'd gotten under someone's skin and they couldn't do anything about it. When Jacob stepped in she listened with the smile slowly fading. This was really serious, but Mattie felt almost clueless as to what was going on. All she knew, basically, was that Jacob and Alice used to be an item. That made her feel sorry for both of them.

She scooted closer to Nick, protectively, as he confirmed what she'd implied: Alice had drugged him. It truly made her wonder what horrible thing she could have been coercing him to sign that he couldn't even be in his right mind to do it. Alice suddenly started to cry. Good. In fact as Jacob suggested that they leave, Mattie [i]did[/i] give the sobbing woman one bit of attention: the finger. 

Then, turning her back on Alice, Mattie put one arm around Nick as he rose from the bed. She stayed by his side as he walked dizzily toward the exit, in case he needed to lean on her. 

She needed a drink.
