"You think my head is...sort of screwed on straight?" Jeremy blurted, turning his head to follow Tegan's movements with some surprise. Frankly, he was flattered. For someone to say that he wasn't completely insane at this point seemed a major compliment.
He watched as Tegan began the process of making pizza, one hand absently squeezing and then releasing his right knee. He was beginning to feel a little thirsty, and hoped that she wouldn't offer him any food or think it strange if he rejected it. The tomato sauce reminded him of blood, and his stomach growled before he could try to stifle it. Giving a quick, nervous laugh, Jeremy tried to talk over it, hoping she didn't hear.
"Yeah, uh, we're from a little town in Maine, you wouldn't know it. We had to sell our house after our parents died, and since then it's, it's sort of been hard to settle. You know how it is. Uh...you been here with Evan long?"

Let Riley deal with the cop? And her miss any potential for fun with this? No way, at least, not permanently.
"You don't get all the good parts," she muttered, giving him a light returning smack to the backside before backing quickly down the hallway towards their bedroom. "Don't get rid of him too fast, he's a guy, he should like to get a load of me if I aim myself his way."
She retrieved her shirt from the floor of their bedroom and was still slipping it over her head as she walked down the hallway to Maddy and Juliette's room, not bothering to knock on the door. Throwing it open, she announced, "There's a cop, don't come out. Pretend you're normal and happy. Yeah, I know, huge stretch, but you've got enough melodrama to make it work."
Then she made her way down the hallway towards the front door again just as the police was allowed inside, showing his badge to Riley.
"Officer Becker here. Would this be Jeremy Stewart I'm speaking to?"

"I'm not a...a perv," Maddy frowned, injured, from under the bed, even as her brow furrowed, trying to work out what name her sister had just tossed her way. "You are!"
The added information about Riley and Regina kissing naked made her widen her eyes, shocked at the mental image this produced, and her mouth fell open. She forgot even to be hurt about being called a baby as she went to sit on Juliette's bed, tugging at her arm. "You mean they LOOK? Why do they do that? That's so embarrassing!"
She looked up at Regina as Regina threw open the door, calling out to her before Regina had a chance to speak, "Gina? How come you and Riley are naked and kiss? And what's a perv?"
When Regina completely ignores her, informing her there's a cop at the door, Maddy gasps, then immediately dives under the bed again. Juliette might think she's a baby, but she felt much safer there.
