history: My neighbor had her home broken into last week and was scared to stay by herself after the robbery.  We let her stay with us for a couple of nights. My neighbor was robbed at home last week.  Since then_comma_ she has been too scared to stay by herself.  We let her stay with us for a couple of nights. That sounds terrifying! I wouldn't want to stay alone either. That was nice you guys took her in.
current: She was a nervous wreck and we felt like it was a good idea for her to have some friends around for a while.
next: I don't blame her. I am sure she felt more at ease staying with you guys.
