Picks up the blanket that is laying across the back of the couch, wraps it around her and folds back down into a ball on the couch. Her eyes open and staring at the floor.

Walking to the open door, she pauses for a moment on the threshold. Eyes still locked on the ground, she subtly shakes her head.
