If there's anything dismissive about his response, Carla Jean doesn't pay it any mind. He'll tell her why he asked if he wants to; she has no reason to press the subject (though she has to wonder if it has something to do with the bruises darkening his face). Instead, she just shoots him a thin smile as she steps inside. "Thanks," she says, though she thinks she's said it already. "Lord, will it be nice to be out of that weather."
