Without saying anything for a minute, Alex just slipped off the couch to sit next to him on the floor, dragging the blanket he'd covered her over with right along with her and dropping it onto her lap. She was close enough to touch him, but she didn't. Not yet. Instead she just spoke softly but in an entirely matter-of-fact tone, coupling it with a lift of her shoulders into a shrug. "I tried. I couldn't sleep there." Of course she couldn't sleep there, anymore than she expected that he could have done now since the two of them had gotten together.

Or were together, she didn't know yet. Coming home in the middle of the night isn't really a positive answer one way or another in Alex's view. Which was why she pulled her knees up to her chest and dropped her chin onto the top of them, not looking at him when she asked her next question in a soft and hesitant voice. "Are you staying?" That's what she settled on rather than anything else for a second, but before he could respond, Alex just added, "because if you want, I can find an apartment somewhere else, Richard. And I'll take Simon with me of course. He'd want to come anyway." Because of course, he was stalking her and not stalking Richard. That she knew of anyway.
