The fact that she was staying with James hadn't really been a secret, otherwise she would have stopped upstairs. Instead she didn't think much of it, shrugging and letting her smile go a bit wider.
"I can head down the rest of the way, if you need to head off," Lotte said. It wasn't meant to push him, but it did seem silly to finish up downstairs and then walk all the way up. "Unless you want to walk all the way down and up again?" She doubted it, but added a small, shrug along with it.
