She can't know what's tugging at his mind until he's ready to share it, but she doesn't mind waiting for him to get there. This is never easy to navigate, even with practice. Still, he's taking steps forward and that's what's most important right now.
"Of course." She waits until he's settled fully on the bed before shifting closer, pressing herself into his side to offer stability and comfort as she speaks. "I spared a few minutes of thought the other day about something I meant to bring to you, actually. This likely isn't the best time, but it's a good thing, and I want you to heart it."
A small smile settles on her face as she gives his hand another gentle squeeze. "I'm ready to give up my apartment. My only visits this past month were to sweep and pay my rent. This is home now, here with you, and if you're ready for this to be... the same for you, then I'll see to it tomorrow." A beat of consideration. "Or the day after, if you'd rather we stay in to recover from this."
A day's difference won't change anything on her end. Everything of hers that she kept in her apartment already lives here. They've never needed to separate long enough for her to use it anyway. It's time, and she's ready.
