There's a moment where he's pretty sure she'll say no. Adam Parrish isn't liked by most people. He isn't accepted by most. It takes him a long time to get close to people, close enough to let them in or for them to even want to be let in. He can be prickly and stand-off-ish. It's his own insecurities that make him think that Parker is going to say no.

He's preparing himself for just that thing, mentally kicking himself for even thinking to ask, when she surprises him. She says yes. "Okay. I can give you some of my credits. I'm not using most of them." And he knows nothing in life is free.
