Do you wait longer?

No.

You anxiously stare at the front doors of the condo building and wonder if she would actually come down — maybe another guy went up and picked her up from the line up of Asian girls. But after about five minutes you finally see her come out from the lobby and stand to look around in the darkness for your car. You flash your headlights, not wanting to use the horn to attract any unwanted attention to yourself. She waves and walks towards your car.

"Hi, Craig," Kitty greets you after she slides into the passenger seat, "I thought you gone!"

"I would never leave without you!" you chuckle.

"Thank you for waiting for me," she smiles and leans over to give you a kiss on the cheek.

"Ready for some coffee?" you ask her. You normally don't have caffeine so late but if you are lucky you may stay up with her...

"Yes," she nods.

You drive to the nearest local coffee shop and order coffee for the two of you, bringing to a nice cozy quiet corner with comfortable armchairs. The two of you talk about yourselves — where you went to school, career plans, hobbies, and dreams. You understand and sympathize that she accepted the job with Tom because it pays well — it's hard for a new immigrant with broken English to get a decent paying job, especially the one she originally went to school for.

"Yes, I want to be a nurse like I was back home but I..." she pauses to think of the correct English words to use.

"...you have to go back to school here to get certified?" you continue for her.

"Yes, certified," she sighs.

The two of you continue to talk for another hour before you decide to ask the question you had been holding out all night, "Do you want to go back to my place?"

What does she say?
