Molly lets her eyes fall shut for a moment when Lee kisses her forehead, something in her chest pulling tight with an emotion she can't quite put a name to. She's got too many of them to make sense of right now as it is, which is probably only going to be increasingly the case going forward. Relief might just be chief among them, though. Everything is still completely fucked, and she's not sure how awkward things might go back to being come morning, but at least he's here. At least, for the time being, things feel about as close to alright as they're likely to get, until they've made a little more sense of what this means and where they'll go from here.
"I should be able to, yeah," she answers, nodding. Everything at work is still pretty crazy, but less so than it was a few weeks ago, and at least there's still a couple months before the election. With all she's been doing of late, she thinks they should be able to spare her for a few days. "I'll... I can call in sick. And if anyone really needs me, they'll know how to reach me."
She hasn't actually thought that far ahead until now — or, at least, hasn't considered that option — but it makes the most sense, with everything she and Lee have to sort out, including just between the two of them. Briefly, she considers asking if he'll be alright missing class, but figures he wouldn't have brought it up if that weren't the case. Instead, when she continues, her voice is lower, her gaze not quite meeting his, though she stays just as close, still leaning into him. "I didn't know if you were. Coming back."
The way he's phrased it, she almost has to wonder if there was a point when he wasn't going to, but it doesn't seem worth asking about. He did, and she's already spent enough time worrying about the other possibilities.
