[ Watching Tommy get up and get dressed is disappointing; she hadn't really hoped they'd go for another round in the morning, but she wouldn't have complained. Still, making the most of a bad situation is something she tries to do whenever possible, so she lets herself admire the shape of his body as he goes around picking up his clothes and stepping back into them.
She almost offers to loan him one of her shirts — she's a tall woman, and not exactly fine-boned, and she tends to buy her casual clothes a few sizes too big even now that she's done growing, just for comfort's sake — but then she gets distracted watching him contort himself back into the shirt he was wearing last night and the moment's gone.
Hearing a woman's name on his lips feels like she's had a bucket of water tossed over her. It occurs to her that she never actually asked him if he was single, she'd just assumed based on the way he looked at her and circled her like an orbiting moon that he didn't have anyone waiting for him at home. Obviously, ignorance can afford her a little bit of leeway, but Eddie's been fucked over by someone she thought cared about her before, and it made her feel like shit. The realization that she could have been party to that leaves a bad taste in her mouth, and manages to get her fully and completely awake in a way nothing else has so far.
Sitting upright, she pulls the sheet around herself and gives him a wary look as she twists her fingers in the cotton. ] Who's Jessie?
