[She puts on her coat and scarf as Gai bundles up too, but she's quick to take his hand back before they head out the door. They were engaged, they were supposed to be happy, bright and cheerful all the time. She was ruining things by focusing too much on what might have happened to Booker. Nothing was certain, his things were still in his room, she was worrying too much.]
I know-- [She turns so she can walk backwards with Gai's hand still in hers.] --after lunch, we can go back to your apartment, warm up a little there...?
