Miss Juliett,
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to invite myself to be kept for the night-- I just thought that you were being literal when you said '24 hours'. Not that I don't want to, I just wouldn't feel right about it unless you're actually happy to accommodate me. I don't want to take advantage in any way.
No, no, none of that. It is no imposition at all and I will be, as I said, more than pleased to keep you for as long as you'll let me. And do believe me when I say that you most likely will not be the one taking advantage- and if you are? I am more than happy to allow it.
Alright, if you say it's no imposition, I'm thrilled at the invitation. I'll pack a bag accordingly.
I just might be taking advantage, you have no idea what kind of paper-thin mattress I'm sleeping on right now. You might have to pry me off of yours with a crowbar.
Oh, more than fair. Of course, by the end of it I'm sure both Booker and the chef will be crazy, but I suppose I can accept that outcome if I end up rested.

Darling Elizabeth,
I may just have to keep you for a week if you're sleeping so poorly.
Juliett

Oh I couldn't possibly-- poor Booker will start eating out of dumpsters again, I couldn't be responsible for that.

Darling Elizabeth,
I'll send him my personal chef while you're away. Fair?

Darling Elizabeth,
I assure you my chefs are made of sterner stuff than that- but then they've never had to contend with a man that ate from the garbage.

They've never had to contend with Booker, either. I'll see you tomorrow.
