[It might be easier on both of them if she were out, but she isn't. As softly as she tries to walk, the sound of her coming to the door, the telltale scrape of the peephole opening, gives her away; and though she pauses a long moment, considering not answering him, one by one the line of locks is unbolted.

The scene is too familiar for her comfort, an echo of any number of tourist weekends... but without the safe promise that he'll be gone in the morning, or the easy, uncertain secrecy of those visits. She ought to be on better terms with him-- this him-- than with him when he left, but it's not so easy to forget, even if he has.]
