"Mm, I wouldn't risk it right now." Meredith goes back to reading, or at least to looking like she's trying to. Focusing on the words on the page is difficult when she's bristling and trying to fight it. She asked him to cut back and he has, and this seems to fly in the face of that, but is it really such a crime? She never asked him to stop drinking entirely. It feels like a backwards step, but she could just be overreacting and she needs a moment to weigh it. Either way, though, she doesn't have to be pleased about it.
