[ He is way too fucking paranoid. She's not saying it, if only because she's already said it and if she says it again it'll seem like she's uncreative with her insults (and god forbid anyone think that about her), but he is.
That November 2018 thing still doesn't sit right with her, the same way it wouldn't if someone ever approached her on the street and asked what year it was. Time traveller-type shtick, for sure. It doesn't matter how dated this motel is, the fact that she may have travelled in time hasn't even crossed her mind. Plenty of motels still look this godawful, she knows for a fact. But he's foreign, Russian or at least Eastern European; maybe it's just a common thing where he's from to announce what year it is in any given conversation.
More to the point: it was not November 2018 when Deely went to bed last night. She will have to deal with this in due course.
In any case, now she's decided for herself that he isn't about to whirl the gun around and start taking potshots at her, Deely cautiously straightens up, her hands in fists at her sides like she's about to punch a bullet out of the air if he changes his mind. ]
