Sample

Patty: Well, do you think, would you mind if I stayed over tonight?  I mean, if it’s not okay, just say so.  I knew I was taking a chance coming by without calling, but I missed you so much I could hardly wait.  But if you’re — you know.  Tired or feel like being alone, then I’ll just see you tomorrow.
