"You know, I would, but if I live here with her, I can keep an eye on her and make sure she isn't draining the roomies," he said, giving Jeremy a half-smile. "Besides, I don't really want to interrupt someone's love nest."
"I know that Vicki's death was hard on you... I can only imagine Anna's was as well," he said, noting the change in Jeremy's demeanor.
