"Uh-huh," Kate replied lightly. "I don't know what your problem is, but by judging based on how drunk you are, it must be something that you don't want to talk about, right?"

Henry might be drunk, but his mind was clear enough to understand what Kate meant, "I want you to be here with me, Kate. I feel so lost when you're not around me."
"W—Well, then let me grab my bag and I'll go to your apartment," Kate said.
"No, that's too dangerous," Henry refused. "It's already late at night, let me pick you up."
