"That would be nice, actually. But there is one small problem."

"Which is?"

"If you're going to walk me home so that you can feel better knowing that I get home safely - then what about making me feel better knowing that you got home safely?"

"Oh."

"I mean, I could walk you home so that I can feel better knowing you're home safe."

"But then I would feel awful not knowing if you get home safely."

"That would be a shame. If I want to know you're safe at home, I need to walk you home."

"And if I want to feel better knowing you're home safe, I will have to walk you home."

"Either way, one of us will be safe, and the other will worry."

"That is not a good plan either way."

"No, it's not."

"I wish there was a way for both us to feel better and to be safe."

"If only there was a way..."

"Sleepover?"

"Sleepover!"
