[She can't hide the way her expression sours at his answer. The old instinct to care for people is kicking in. Her mind considers when the last time he might have slept in a real bed was, or if he's spoken to Rose about his living situation. The latter is highly unlikely, she realizes, but it's still a thought that crosses her mind.
The offer is entirely unexpected. Being offered a place to stay, by an old friend of all people, isn't something that's happened to her often. At all, really. She's always been the one to offer help. The tables have turned in a way for which she wasn't prepared.
A finger traces the rim of her glass as she considers. It would be a bad idea to leave her hotel early; it would bring about questions she literally couldn't answer. But another night in the City wouldn't hurt, so long as she had somewhere to go. And it would give her time to catch up with him and, if he was willing to share, on other acquaintances. The offer is one she doesn't feel like she can refuse.
But she can't exactly write that. It would seem too easy, somehow.]
I'll be homeless tomorrow. Flight doesn't leave for two more days.
[Usually, she'd just take another hotel, one closer to the airport. But this possibility would probably be even more low key than she could hope.]
