[trying not to sound as exhausted and defeated as she feels about all this, she adds:] Besides, I could always go back to Manchester. [not that she means to. after all, she can't work in her current state, and she's already called in once; she'd rather not have to again. but she doesn't mean to tell North that, either]

[she gives him a wan smile instead, squeezing his hand] Let's go.
