"You're insane! If you're hung up on being someone's first night, why on earth did you come after me?"

Don't tell your mother!] Jonathan had not actually consulted his wife because he figured it would only lead to more hassle. It was simpler to ask forgiveness than permission, especially since Heather was currently under his control.
