She wondered why it took Carl so long to help Sivan apply medicine. What on earth stopped him from coming back?

The longer it took, the more anxious Jessica became. She drank one glass after another without noticing how much wine she had drunk.

After a long time, she was so drunk that she felt dizzy, so she wanted to use the bathroom. As soon as she got up, she staggered and fell back.
