She wasn't letting go. Nope. Not while they were talking civilly ((is this a word?)) and such. Though she did go along with moving back to his room.
"It's not..." She sighed again. "We have some unusual circumstances. Big deal. I'm still here." Her voice got quiet. "And I'm sorry I tried to leave earlier." She'd thought about, for a long time while alone in that room, and she'd decided it was all her fault.

Arguing was tiring.
"... can you let go now? I just want to lie down."

It occurred to him he was fighting a losing battle.
"...no. Not unless you want to. And if you do, I'm not stopping you."
He was tired of trying to fix a broken relationship. All he wanted to do was sleep.

She was still clinging to him. "And if I stay? What then? I don't want to give up on the first day, Jake."

So tired.
"I said you can do whatever you want, but I just want to sleep now, so there isn't much point in you staying."

The numbness was back in full force. So were the tears. She tried really hard not to cry again, but the way he'd worded that stung. She was quiet for a moment, determined not to full on sob. "You don't get it," she whispered. "You're here, and that's more than enough reason for me to stay." She shifted her weight and left a kiss on his cheek. "Can I stay here while you sleep?"

He didn't understand. He had treated her so terrible time after time, and yet... why didn't she give up? Were her feelings for him really that strong?
"Sherry..."
He wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Sorry. I've been such a jerk, even without my memories. I'd... like it if you stayed."

She nodded, apology accepted before he'd even finished it, and clung even tighter for a moment.
"Are you feeling better?" That was all she'd ask about it tonight, unless he wanted to talk about it. He could bet she'd ask about it the next day, though.

It'd probably be kind of weird if he slept while Sherry just hung in his room. It seemed his nap would have to wait.
"Yah, I'm fine."
A pause.
"Did you... want to do anything?"

She'd accept that answer for now. They were both tired and she didn't want to cause any more tension than they'd already had.
"I don't know," she replied. "I... I thought you were sleeping? Did you have anything else you wanted to do?"

"Um..."
It didn't help that the only thing he was thinking of right now was sleep.
"I don't know."

Sherry gave a small smile, even if he couldn't see it right then. Long day, and if he was as tired as she was, well... "Lie down. Get some sleep. We, um, we can talk about things later."

Jake really couldn't argue against that.
"You're the best girlfriend ever."
He gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then let go, heading to his bed.

She stood there stunned for a moment. So it wasn't over? He was...
The hissing rant had not yet stopped, though Armagnac wasn't yelling anymore.
No.
To Jake she said, "On your stomach. I can finish what I started earlier... If that's okay."
