Rachel was still considering the whole mushy, vulnerable thing. Sure, it was easy to recommend getting everything out, but she figured it was much harder to actually do.

She'd make her mind up at some point, but for the moment, she was just happy he was coming over. So, as soon as she left the message, she hopped in the shower quickly. When she got out, she wasn't sure whether to change into actual clothing in case they decided to go out or stay comfortable and casual in her pajamas.

So, she went half and half. A short jean skirt with a cute, white summer shirt and bare feet for the moment. She could always throw on a pair of heels if needed.

"Hi, this is Rachel.  Not here right now.  Leave me one."

It's simple and not grouchy or anything.  So, it's good enough for her.
