Predator or angry wife?

It was past 10 in the evening when Jeremy arrived home. He knew Ellie was at the neighbour's house by this time since she usually stayed there until he was back from work, so he decided to freshen up first before going to fetch her. He reeked of alcohol. He was never a fan of alcohol, but having heard how it helped people in sorrow, he decided to give it a try after work, but regretted it because not only did it make him behave stupidly, and also causing his head to ache, he also didn't forget a thing. In fact, everything was amplified. Stepping out of the passenger seat of his car, he thanked his colleague from work, whom he had bumped into and had offered to drive him home.
