She wondered if Samuel Noah Jackson had already gone back...
Lorne should be about to fall asleep, shouldn't he?

"I know that... but I really want to get back," Michelle Campbell pursed her lips, looking helpless.
If it weren't for these considerations, she might not even have attended this celebration banquet!
