[Jane can see it in his eyes. She's been gone longer than a night. Things have happened since she "left", but she can't even begin to fathom what. Still, her tone grows firm, slightly harsh even.]
I messed myself up. A long, long time before I met you, Jesse. You tried to make me leave. I stayed because I wanted to. I got high because I wanted to. You didn't put that pipe in my hand. Not you or anyone else.
[It was a speech she'd made before, to her father. He felt just as guilty as Jesse, it seemed. Felt responsible. Jane didn't buy any of it. Nobody made her decisions but her. She takes a breath and her tone relaxes. Those eyes are killing her.]
How long have I been gone? I can see it in your eyes, it's been a while, right? I'm not leaving...not leaving you again. Detox is hard, yeah. Life's hard. It'd be pointless if it wasn't.
[There is a matter-of-fact nature to her tone. She might be regretting it later, hunched over the toilet, shivering and drenched in sweat, but right now she's home even though she's not even in the same country. She's not willing to budge. Not now.]
