[Having Claire over to visit is a comforting thought in several different ways. For one thing, it's giving Rosella something else to think about besides creepy doctors and severed body parts being left on her doorstep, and giving her something to do besides holing up in a secluded corner of the Warehouse and thinking with all her might that the man is absolutely not welcome inside. The Warehouse will protect her just fine without sitting around and dwelling on the issue, and besides, it'd be nice to have some company right now.
She is halfway through dragging some delightfully squishy oversized pillows down into the den--where all of Sam's electronics are still housed--when her device goes off. Blinking, she retrieves it from her pocket and smiles faintly at the message; it seems Claire found a way for her to "hear" the knock, after all. Quickly, she hauls the pillows down and deposits them outside the doorway before heading for the front door, dusting her hands on her skirt as she goes. After a quick peek out the peephole, just to be doubly sure, she unlocks the door and pulls it open, flashing what she hopes is a normal, friendly smile in greeting.]
pass the parcel, wrap unwrap, and open up the locks
