[Those hours are enough for Tess to decompress in some ways, compress in others –– she thinks about how much she would have just loved for him to really be in her corner, beat the tar out of Yunlan, thinks about how enabling her bullshit wouldn't really be being in her corner, either. It's an unpleasant situation. It feels somewhat insurmountable.
She answers the door, moves like she might take the tray from him, but thinks better and just steps back to let him in so he can put it down himself.]
