Ellie nodded, sliding the chair forwards a little bit anyway. Even if Drew was fine, she could afford to give him a little more space, so why not? It wasn't going to cause her any problems, after all. His comment about "fitting into tight places" sounded a bit like a tease of some kind, but she had been reading too much into things all night, so she dismissed such thoughts instead.
"I guess it's been quite a busy time for you since, you know," said Ellie, finding it uncomfortable to talk about what had happened using anything more than the vaguest of terms. "It's been pretty much the opposite for me; I've not been at work since then and I've not even spoken to the police. They didn't see me as having anything to tell them, I guess, so other than the odd call from my parents, I've just been left to myself. Time's been moving so slowly... I'll be honest, I'm glad to see you again, if only to have some company. It gets very lonely, especially when the obvious is all that's rolling around in my mind." She sighed and ran her hand through her hair, staring out of the car's front windscreen. "Sorry," she said, quietly, "I guess my problems just sound whiny by comparison to yours."
