[She's planning nothing of the sort. Even if she felt certain Angela wasn't coming back-- which she doesn't; not sharing Chase's disappointment, she can't share his pessimism-- it wouldn't be right. Rebound relationships rarely last, and she wants more than that. A handful of awkward dinners after her husband passed away proved that point; and after that she'd moved away, and a good friend became a mere acquaintance. Given the options, it seems better not to pursue him. They can be friends. Somehow.
She rolls her eyes at his 'deal,' though honestly, it's almost funny. She gets to pay for his door and give in to his nagging? What a break. For the first time she wonders if finding her a roommate isn't an out for him, a way to pass the responsibility for her safety on to someone else so he doesn't have to think about it.
But it's no more than her own little exercise in self-pity. He'll still call. She's as certain of it as one can be of anything, here.]
