Nadine paused a video of someone embarrassing themselves when she heard the car pull into the driveway, though she kept the music on. Her eyes were narrowed, listening intently with her ears perked up. He was certainly spending a long time in the car. Her hearing wasn't quite good enough, still, to be able to tell what he was doing. If he was on the phone or if he was listening to something on the radio, something to justify waiting so long.
It was possible he was just avoiding her. Considering how he'd stormed out…
She continued to listen as he came inside, and she could probably have helped when he struggled at the door. She did not. She waited in her fort, instead, posed to look busy if and when he found her. As if she was not listening carefully to his every move, even though she was. She didn't even turn down her music, and maybe it would seem plausible that she was too engrossed in Nicki Minaj to even notice that he'd come home.
Definitely wasn't waiting with the vague concern that he'd go straight back to bed without even acknowledging the tent in his living room.
So maybe she smiled, a teensy bit, when he asked if he could join her. Even though it was his house, his furniture, his blankets, his clothes. And maybe she would have been perfectly pleased to have him snuggling with her the way he had in those brief moments before he'd gotten out of bed. She had to pull the sweater tight around her hips to keep her tail down, because she was in no mood to have it giving her away. She was lounging on her side on the cushions with the laptop in front of her, and she curled her legs a bit to be sure there was room even if he just wanted to sit rather than laying next to her. She even went so far as to turn down the volume, a teensy bit, though she didn't stop the music still.
"That depends," she said, though at the same time she was raking her nails through her hair to make sure the curls fell just right. "Is that one more going to spend the whole time trying not to look at me? And getting all mad at me, for some reason? Because even if this was your dead cat's laptop, you can't storm out of a blanket fort. Even you can't slam a blanket." If she noticed that she'd stopped speaking hypothetically and started addressing him directly halfway through, she didn't acknowledge it. "Also, you have to give me your Netflix password. If you want in. And you're going to be nice."
