[Maybe she should have been a little firmer about calling.
Even if she'd been expecting company, she'd check the peephole first; but Chase, at least, doesn't warrant an interrogation before she unlocks the door. Unbolted, though, she only opens it halfway, not barring his entry but not providing a very warm welcome, either. After all, she doesn't even need to see the former bottle to know he's not in good shape. He's lucky that she wouldn't trust him to tend to that cut on his own, or she might not uphold her permission.]
I thought you were going to call first,
[she answers coolly, stepping back to give him space to pass, the action paired with a look that insists he do so. Trying to back out will only land him in more trouble now.]
hold my hand, ooh baby it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
