Pepper shook her head, "Nothing's wrong, just glad to see you smiling," she mentioned casually. She figured his bad attitude this morning was from his hangover, she mentally made a note to remind him not to drink as much next time. "I heard you're working on something again, JARVIS says it's top secret stuff," she remember asking JARVIS what he had been up to. He was up almost every night working on something, meetings were cancelled and pushed aside to later dates to accommodate his time. He was also drinking a whole lot that it worried her. She didn't want to lose him again so she made an effort to get more involved with whatever he was up to. And trust her on this when she says it wasn't easy. 

"Been worried about you these days," she added softly the concern showing through her eyes.
