"Yes, they raised you right but you chose to stay that way," she reminds him gently, so he'll take some credit. Because as hard as it had been when he left her (she feels an ache in her heart so keenly), he'd been a good man otherwise. She feels ashamed as she sees the memories in her head of their breakup, at the way she yelled at him to stop, to come back, calling him a coward for walking away from her.
She wonders what his reasoning was, she wonders if he could tell her now because now... it's not real. Their relationship, their breakup. Maybe someday she'd be able to ask him but it wasn't the right time. Not today. Not when they were slowly building a bridge of friendship.
It's still a struggle, for her and for him, it seems. He mentions her commitment, the way she doesn't hold back and she glances down at her now-empty coffee cup. Even in reality, she knows she doesn't hold back. She gives herself completely to so much and in the end, it's gotten her hurt.
A lot.
"Yeah, I'm not sure that's a good thing." Otherwise, why was it so easy for so many people to cast her aside? Matt, Tyler, Klaus. Her father. She looks up at him with a sadder smile before forces a happier one upon her lips. "I'm definitely a bit of a control freak. I think we both know that. I seem to remember an obsessively planned summer barbecue." She doesn't actually remember that, she just assumes it might have happened and she's looking to deflect.
