"Is it a crime to want a little human contact?"
-Catherine Willows, CSI

In actuality, all the coffee she'd drank at the reception had done wonders to her drunken state. It made her more alert, more aware of her surroundings.
And more aware of that speech she'd just made.
She refused to act even slightly sobered, though, because that would mean she'd be back in the real world. No, she wanted to remain in that hazy version of reality a little bit longer.
She wanted to put off the inevitable resurfacing when she would feel the embarrassment of what she'd done. And had she wanted to, she could've walked into her house without Christopher's assistance.
But truthfully?
She enjoyed feeling someone holding her again.
Luke was out of town, yes. But even before he left, things between the two of them had been… strained.
So she didn't object to Chris carrying her inside.
She knew that it was probably wrong to be feeling that way, but she couldn't help it.
Was it a bad thing just to want a little human contact?

Thoughts, anyone?
