"I'm sorry, did you think that was a question?" She's not usually so blunt and firm with Stella, but in this case, she's going to be, because there's no way that she intends to let the other woman go sleep on her own after such a long day. "I'm going to lie there and if you want to use some of the warmth that I can provide, or the comfort, so be it."

"You're not getting away from me," she points out, because that's the sticking point that she thinks Stella ought to be aware of. "I know you'd do the same for me," is added after, a steady knowledge and trust in the other woman.
