Liz started to feel horrible again.  She didn't want to shut him out after he revealed himself to her.  This had been what she wanted after all.  "No!  No, I mean it.  You can stay with me..." She said as her cheeks went a little red with embarrassment.  "I won't let you live on the streets like some kind of stray cat..." she said as she looked over at him.  Technically, he was a stray cat, now that she really thought about her words.<br/>"It won't be any trouble as long as you promise to stay clean and try to be quiet" she said with a serious look on her face.  She took her solitude quite seriously.  She needed peace and quiet when she read and she wouldn't make an exception to that if he was going to stay with her.  "We can try to get you a job while we're at it...if I'm gonna be cooking for two, I'll need some extra cash..." she said.
