“In the kitchen.” Sherilyn gestured towards the kitchen. “Your kitchen is kinda bare, you know? I whipped up some oatmeal and made some sandwiches. You had quite a bit to drink last night, so I didn’t bother with coffee.”

“It’s okay.” Gilbert shook his head slightly. “Just a bit woozy, that’s all.”

“That’s normal when you just wake up.”

“Oh, alright.”
