When Laura was dropped off at home, she noticed that her lights were on even before going inside. This was enough of a clue to tell her that her boyfriend was in her home, so she went inside without worry.
James had received her text that she was going to Jen's place, so he had not been too worried. He was just concerned about the state she would end up coming home in. As Laura walked into the house, she saw James sitting on her sofa with a white light sweater and a pair of sweats with his hair tied at the nape of her neck.
"Come here," James said as he narrowed his eyes when noticed her stumbling into the house. She looked as pretty as ever. The only issue he had was that she was very obviously drunk. He did not conceal his annoyance as he looked at her.
If she only quietly got drunk and obediently went to sleep, he would not have a problem with her. But the issue was, Laura became an even bigger trouble maker when she was drunk.
