Are both of the underscored solutions ok to use here? Which one do you prefer in the context? (You don't have to correct the rest of the dialogue)


How long were you there?

A few days.

Didn't you miss Leah?

Of course I did. But I knew she would be in good hands with her grandparents.

But don't you think a 3 month old needs its mother?

Yes, but I was only away for a few days.
