If you don't know what time to expect her, don't worry about it. Do your thing. Do something you'll enjoy. Personally I would stay out-- meet a friend for dinner or go see a movie. GAL. Perhaps she is anxious about coming back to the house, too. Would it be easier or harder for her if you were there.
What would put you in a better light? Her finding you sitting on the couch as if you had nothing better than to sit and judge her? Or going out, doing something positive for you, coming back in a good mood, greeting her cordially if she is still awake without anger or judgment?
