[Of course she doesn't have to. She's probably got something else lined up. And while he's mildly disappointed by that, he's not offended. Riley is overbearing and intense, but not unkind. He's sure she's made friends besides him — although they are, he's almost positive, friends. So if she has somewhere else to stay, that's a good thing.]
