That's the clincher - no matter how close he came to her here, through her friends, through people she considered family, she never asked him to explain himself to her. She took those she trusted at their word - that he was good, that she didn't see the good in him like they did.
She watched him make them eat those words, felt hollow and empty when friends hurt by him apologized for not believing her.
"I never asked what your reasons were, I never sked you to be vulnerable, I never asked for your secrets - if you don't want to tell me, fine, that's your business! You're the one who brings it up, like I'm some evil jerk that's trying to get you to tell me everything so I can ruin you at home!"
The dogs come up and she lowers her voice, calms and softens it-- but there is still anger there, still frustration.
"I never asked you about Steph - you dragged me to that fire world and made me talk to you. So I figure if there's ever anything you want to tell me, you'll find a way to do it. Whether I want to listen or not."
