Even if some of the details are unclear, he adds mentally- because he knows there are gaps in his memory, gaps having to do with River and how he was able to help her after everything went to hell.
"...Do you want to stay with me tonight?" he asks tentatively. "You can sleep in my bed if you want."
He'd dearly love if he was curled up with her, but he doesn't want to ask that aloud, not sure if she's ready for that level of physical closeness when he's still a stranger to her- and, Simon has to admit to himself, he's not sure if he's ready, either.
