[She doesn't consider it a sacrifice, not really. Not when she knows exactly how terrifying her powers can be.
And because of that it was true. She didn't think there was reason for anyone to return. She could count on one hand the number of people who ever thought she was worth protecting, worth coming back for (as a person, not as a business asset).
(She's come to admit to herself, that she wasn't worth it.)
So she was surprised both by the offer to return for her and the sincerity with which it was delivered.
In the face of that sincerity she wasn't sure how to begin to delcine...and before she could figure it out he'd already left.
So she was left in the room, filled with uncertainty. She had planned on leaving at some point but...if he promises to be back and she wasn't here then that'd be a problem, right?
She spent a little time agonizing over this before settling down to wait. She wasn't entirely certain how long it would take to burn a candle and if she started burning one she wasn't sure how she'd explain why if someone were to ask.
So she just sat down and waited. And would have patiently continued to wait until dawn without any complaint just to avoid someone having to come back to pick up no one.]
