Without hesitation, she answered my question with a nod of her head, which made me even more confused by the logic of my 18-year-old girlfriend sitting in front of me right now. "Of course, that's the only reason for me to keep waiting for you there. Moreover, the sofa in your living room is much more comfortable than the sofa at my house, so I had a good nap there while waiting for Sister Beth to tell me you were up and I could see you today."
"If I had known you were coming here, I wouldn't have let you sleep on my couch for hours like you did. Again, I'm really sorry for making me wait so long."
"Rest assured, Marleen. I have absolutely no problem with that. Plus, it didn't take too long for me to wait for you until you woke up, for the reason that Sister Beth quickly woke me up and told me what to do if you had a panic attack or your fever was back up before she just left."
