stayed in

Kept inside tonight

Stayed in means to remain at home rather than go out, typically for an evening or social occasion.

It implies a deliberate choice to skip external activities in favor of domestic comfort.

We stayed in and watched movies last night.

After a long week, I just wanted to stay in.

The phrase often carries connotations of relaxation, self-care, or simply preferring one's own company to social engagements.
