Yeah, sure. [ He answered reflexively, understanding the need for more alcohol with everything he'd told her.

Shadow also could use the mild sedation that liquor provided. Everything he shared was a trip down memory lane that plagued his sleep from time to time. Jessica hadn't complained or questioned the nights he woke up in a sweat and on edge. Not that they were frequent in her company. In fact, nightmares had a tendency of occurring when he'd fallen asleep without her--something he hadn't told her and had no plans to do so. None of it was her burden to carry.

Would she question anything? What he shared? What he hadn't? Did she want to talk about any of it or file it all away for another time? He took weeks to believe half the things he'd told her, it wasn't right to put Jessica on the spot. Patiently, he waited for her to return. ]
