After Jeremy went with Sarah to get her things back, after he saw what remained of what she went through, the deaths that she saw, experienced, helped with on hand, Jeremy could not leave her, would not leave her. He asks if she'd prefer going back to her house or to his room at Martha's house. It doesn't matter which one she says, because he is

She more or less passed out, or rather, her body decided it was giving out on her mid-walk, before she could even decide if she wanted to go back home or not. She'd have been a little gunshy about taking Jeremy up on his offer, even if going back home wasn't really something she wanted to do, and at the same time, she didn't want to impose on whoever lives with him, which...she realizes she'd never asked about. She assumed he lived in the Tower with his sister.
Elena had been furious while she was left in the Tower without being able to leave it, but once she was able to she'd have returned to her room at Martha's, and she'd have been worried when Jeremy came home with a girl that was passed out. The night was already a disaster as it was, and the concern only grew, but she didn't question it, either ( ... )

He falls silent almost as she responds to him, and Jeremy knew what she'd say and understands as much as he wants to protect her. She's in this already, and it would be hypocritical of him. Jeremy tightens his hold on her shoulders, nodding when her voice grows small like that, when he can practically hear the pain in it.
"Okay. I get it. I'd need... to do the same, and they're supposed to be good people. The Crowbar. Martha Jones trusts them, and I trust her."
Jeremy pauses for a moment before he looks over at her.
"Just... don't keep me out of it, okay? You share with me and I'll share with you. We'll get to the bottom of it."

She's never going to be exactly as she was, but time can do a lot of things, not all of them unforgivable. It helps to heal, and not to forget, but to give enough distance between what happened it doesn't taint absolutely every other aspect of her life, not to mention, the narration plans on being a little more nice to her for a bit before the bottom drops once more with all the Society-related drama.
There is definitely a puppy in her future. She isn't even big on pets, but this one will be cute and teleporting and ageless and won't let her give him/her away. She will also immerse herself in painting, as that is always an emotional release of some sort, in a way she can't do with words or other actions. Who knows, she might even need a subject for her art class at school and ask Jeremy to pose for her ( ... )

And it may turn out to be a lie, and what does she do with that?
Setting the locket aside, she bites down on her lip until he speaks again. Sarah looks up at him when he tightens his hold on her shoulders, thankful he understands but hearing the concern in his voice even if he doesn't voice it out loud. There's relief that he seems to trust these people, since she trusts him, and that's almost the same thing.
Not quite, and she won't trust anyone else from this moment on, but it's something.
The We'll doesn't go unnoticed by her, but she's having the same thoughts. Whether she likes it or not, he's involved too, through other people that are not her, and he'd be investigating with or ( ... )
