“ are you kidding? of course you can stay here! it’s fine, i have an air mattress. no need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on a hotel. it’s been awhile since we caught up anyway.

     “Only if you’re sure I’m not putting you out?  I mean–I’d love to catch up and it’s great to see you again.  It feels like forever, doesn’t it?  I need to hear everything you’ve been up to.  But I don’t want to get in the way, so I don’t mind getting a room since I surprised you by showing up at your door.  Talk about a blast from the past, huh?”
