Or code for...
"I'm tired".
Gender stereotypes, whee!

You're right, she did offer an alternative, and that's a good thing....but 'Friday' sounds so far away. It's not like she said 'tomorrow.' If you're really just tired tonight....you should be rested by tomorrow. Shouldn't you? I really need to know what day of the week today is in the QC universe to fully assess the implications of her not being available tonight!
I've been in Padma's situation before when you think the guy isn't as serious as you are and your response is to get all cool and casual so you don't get hurt. One of two things can then happen...he panics and starts the hot pursuit...or he thinks you're not that interested either and the budding relationship fizzles. :|

If she throws out another excuse not to see Marten when Friday comes around, it'll be a bad sign. It'll be an even worse sign if she stops taking his calls.
At that point he'll be expected to take the hint and stop "bothering" her...
Welu:
She could be working until Friday? We're not sure what day this is in QC, right? It could be Wednesday so Friday isn't that far away. Or it could be Monday and seem very far away.
Maybe we should hope Marten's foreboding feelings won't make him go to tSB and cause a mini-scene. Discussing love-life problems at work isn't fun for any one, especially for people not involved in the discussion but in hearing range of it. Damn, I hate my coworkers sometimes.

Why would that be a problem? :roll:
