I think you know what I think. [ Jess takes the bottle with tented eyebrows, as into the suit as she is everything else. the theatricality of coming out of the shadows certainly complements the place, but not him. she's done her best to give him the berth he deserves, wider than when they first parted ways. funny, since with the profile he's rocking now, it'd be twice as easy to keep tabs on him.
you don't go from a blown up bar under a fake name to openly owning a swanky joint like this without making some dirty deals. that's fine. if she didn't accept that as a part of him she never would've hooked up with him. probably. Jess just didn't see him leaning into it this hard. she thought that the less she was around, the more likely he was to go in the other direction.
jess uncaps the bottle and hops onto the nearest stack of boxes that look like they'll support her. ]
But what do I care, gift horse. [ at worst, they're equally shitty people. realistically, he's probably still a bit better than her. if he wants her to judge him, he'll give her the details. she cants the bottle towards him in a mock cheers before taking a few gulps. it was a long trip. ]
