He Cannot Make This Any Clearer

He saw something close in her face and he sat down, a bit frustrated. "No, it's not time for bed yet, and no, we can't table it until then. It doesn't matter what time it is, I won't change my mind. And I'd rather not be up until the wee hours of the morning because then I'll just give up and sleep on the floor anyway. Which is where I'm heading." He scrubbed his face, tucking his annoyance away and sighing up at her. "We're at a stalemate here, so what do you propose we do since I'm not sleeping in the bed, and you're not sleeping in the bed, and neither of us will change our minds. And the suggestion that I sleep in the bed is out. Just...not there. So don't even consider it as an option any more."
