Juniper feels awkward and uncomfortable when she wakes up in someone else’s bed.
First of all, there is not someone curled up against her — not Burns, not Lila, not even Harris or Spirit. There is a vacuum roaring where someone to comfort should be.
She stumbles out of bed, finally remembers, in her weary haze, that she had gone to Andrew’s instead of going home. She was lonely in the city, after dropping Lila off at Spirit’s with an awkward hug exchanged and not much else in the way of kindness.
She is still in yesterday’s leggings and sweatshirt, but she doesn’t mind the sort-of-grimy sensation. She’s more concerned about her host.
Gently, she enters Andrew’s living space — taking more time to marvel at the size of it all than she had last night. He is still on the couch, somewhere half-awake, half-asleep.
“Thanks for letting me crash,” she says, attempting to sound as casual as possible. “Do you want — should we get — bagels?”
