She'd said the same sort of thing the day he found her in the park, that she didn't want to go home yet, wasn't ready to. The circumstances now might be entirely different, but it doesn't surprise Chuck as much this time. It's strange, all of it, but they're obviously doing okay, getting along without it being too awkward. He can't really see a reason to turn her down. So he shrugs lopsidedly, as casually as he can, not wanting to make a big deal out of it one way or the other.
"Yeah, it's fine," he says, glancing over at her as he starts towards the door of his building. "I don't mind." He sure as hell can't blame her for wanting to put off going home, under the circumstances. Maybe he's never been where she is, but it's easy to see why it might be difficult, after everything.
