Darcey will never stick to the “no alcohol” rule. I hate to judge a book by its cover, but she just strikes me as the type who likes her wine and likes it on a regular basis. She’s so desperate that she’ll tell Jesse whatever he wants to hear, do whatever she wants behind his back in the states, and then (if he ever actually comes over on the K1) it’ll blow up between them later.
Oh, I don’t disagree with you at all. But he hates himself so much and is insecure enough that he is probably terrified of her leaving him no matter what and thus feels the need to pull this manipulation. That’s just my take though.
