Won't you stay the night?”

"Why don't you stay over?"

Hinata-kun was looking at me, as if peering into my face as I hesitated.

"Mom is out at a concert today, so she's not home."

"I got a message saying it's okay to sleep in Mom's room."

He said that and showed me his smartphone screen.

Maybe I should gratefully take him up on the offer and stay over... but Hinata-kun is a young man too, so maybe I'd be inconveniencing him.

Maybe I was making an even more troubled face, because Hinata-kun was laughing.

"Since we're here, keep me company by watching a movie or talking about something, okay? There's dinner too, so I want to eat together."
