"I'm not free," Nyla interrupted, slamming the door in his face.

"He won't come during the day. I need to start looking for a place of my own anyway. I can't stay at your place forever," Nyla replied.

Valarie looked slightly displeased. She had intended to offer that Nyla could stay at her house for as long as needed.
