"I'll be sure to make a reservation."

Which is, admittedly, a tacit admission that she plans to stay over again. Not necessarily regularly, but it's different. It's one thing to bundle an injured partner into bed or crash on a couch after too long a night doing paperwork. They've shared hotel rooms, but only ever out of necessity; it's different if it's a free choice, though arguably, the necessity of synchrony makes that choice a little less free.

(That, she admits, is a particularly flimsy excuse.)

"Start the morning with a little suffering?" Seems on brand for her partner. If he keeps it to a numb tongue, she'll let him get away with it.
