[Alex just studied him for a moment, because her gut (which she always trusts because even when it ends up badly, it's normally right and she is pretty good at knowing when someone is hiding something from her) is telling her that there's more to it than all of that. So, her brow is going towards her hairline with a question that she doesn't ask. At least not yet. If there's one good thing about her constant contact with Strand is that he's wearing on her, so she wants tangible data on whatever the hell this is.

She just doesn't know yet. But she knows it's something.

That said, there's more than a little relief in her voice that he's not sick on top of everything.]

Well, I bet I can help with some of those. And for the record, pot's definitely safe. My sleep therapist prescribed it for me when I was having such a hard time sleeping.

[Among other things that Alex didn't mention to him. Including having enthusiastic sex with someone you trust. Yeah, Dr. Bernier was weird like that.]
