"That's about how long I've not been being a hermit," Even though it's actually a little less time, maybe? She's not sure. Still, she smiles. "I work at Seaside Bakery. I don't really know much of anybody." That's not as true anymore, but she hasn't actually realised that's how things are. It takes time, for your perception of yourself to square up with reality.

"But I'm glad we met, even if it's not under the best circumstances." She smiles encouragingly, and she drinks more of her coffee - she actually needed it, without realising it. She's tired, and the pick-me-up will help a hell of a lot. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She's tentative as she asks, just in case she just doesn't want to talk about it at all.
