He asked as he rubbed his eyes to clear it."Oh, you are awake?" Steven replied.Jackson sat up, removed his seatbelt, and viewed his surroundings. "Why are we parking on the roadway and not at my home?" Jackson asked when he saw the busy streets and people."I was not thinking straight in the bar, but once I sat behind the wheel, and the alcohol left my system, I realized that we both look terrible.

She felt better now that she had stopped suppressing her breath."I am glad that you are okay.
