"A conversation. A chance for us both the air our thoughts without being weighed down by the fact that everything's barely a few days old." Everything had been so fraught when she reached out to him after she'd returned. Even with a night's rest and the solid reminder of everything she is given back to her by Wolfe's presence, she'd been so distressed when she'd seen Chris that next day. It's not much better now, but the distance has allowed her enough clarity to make this work.

"I want to talk to you about what happened, both while we were here and after at Shadows' Rest. What I was feeling and why..." She frowns softly. "Why even after all this time I can't blame you completely for what happened. It was complicated, and I'm still trying to sort some of it out in my head." She pauses, lips pressed together as she looks up at him. "I was hoping I could talk it through with you and hear your own thoughts. It helped me address things with Wolfe after what happened at the start of last month, and I was hoping it would help here, too."

There's nuance to everything, and she didn't allow for it after she came back. Everything was so overwhelming then that she tried to assert control by making everything a certain way, without letting him truly speak his mind. This won't solve anything, but she wants to make things better, if possible.

She gestures down the beach so they might start walking together. "Does that all sound well to you? You can tell me no and I'll simply spill my own thoughts if that's what you'd prefer. I don't mind, and it will still be helpful to tell you everything I've been too afraid or hesitant to say aloud until now."
