He smiled, hoping that would ease the tension...because he was feeling tension. What was he supposed to say? He didn't want to be rude.
"Have a seat," he said, signaling the chair across from him. "I-I mean if you want to." Maybe she didn't want to sit next to him. Hmm, Escalante, did you think about that? Hmm.
