"No, no, you can stay. I'm just doing some simple things to start out. It's not that big a deal." What she was doing was certainly important, a big deal, but she wasn't doing any of the big reconfiguring she was she she'd have to do.
"We can work in the same place, can't we?" She looked hopeful that he would agree to this. Part of her didn't want him around, but she would prefer to know where he was exactly. Not that he seemed the killer type anymore; he actually looked ready to run...from her of all things.
