Vincent and Delaney ate dinner together, and he walked her to her room after despite how tired he was. She stood in front of her door and studied him, worried by his appearance, but he smiled at her and kissed her hand.
He promised her he would be better tomorrow after some sleep and she needed to do the same. Delaney considered asking to sleep in his bed with him again but he looked like he might simply fall over any moment so she decided against it.

"I will speak to her another time," was all Delaney had answered, not wanting the girl to think she was getting away with her behavior but also not in a rush to bring it to the housekeeper's attention now that her anger had receded.
