Jeremy ended up doing a line or two mixed with a glass of whiskey, which made him feel slightly better. He was still feeling drowsy, and having Tallis repeatedly stick a needle in his side made him restless. Her comment about his shirt made his eyebrows raise, a look of curiosity displayed on his face. When she was all done, he let out a quiet "thank you" and motioned for him to sit on his lap. [i]"She's so beautiful."[/i]

When she obliged, he began to open up, although very groggy. "Tallis, I..." he swallowed, "I've got a lot of shit going on. My minds already a fucking wreck. But when you're around me, I can't think straight..." he trailed off slightly, closing his eyes and rubbing his head. He reached in his pocket to pull out a cigarette and lit it in the dining room, something he'd usually never do. After exhaling a large cloud, he looked up at her. "I don't know what I'm trying to get at here. I..." He felt tiredness hit him like a brick, and he sighed. "Can you help me upstairs?"
