send you back again and again?” He stood up, getting closer to her with every step.

“Being stared at by you like that just now, it’s hard not to get nervous,” she said, taking her hand back.
She put her bag. aside and said to him, “It’s very late. I want to sleep now.”
In other words, if he had something to say, he should say it quickly. If there was nothing to say, he
should just leave.
“Then sleep well,” he said.
“What about you?”
“I’ll stay here.”
Grace jumped. “You’re staying here?!” Even her voice went a
little off-pitch.
