Steve hears the question more as a jab first. There more as a metaphorical place, in this endless barrage of attacking thoughts, and whether he's going to tell her. Whether they've reached that spot. Whether he's going to or not going to. Except he knows she isn't.

The note of concern, pressing just enough in, that's matching to look on her face when he cants a glance that way. Before he looks directly away from it, and every single reason she could have to look at him like that, without even needing to toss in not having the faintest clue he was thinking about Danny. Out the window in front of them at the endless green, rising up into the sky.

Koko Head visible from the highway, and he lifts a hand from the wheel to gesture toward it. "There she is."

And the faint white-brown line that bisects the mountain. The path of stroller steps that they will be headed up and over. He'd missed this. He still missed Lori as well, something he was not near forgetting or moving past where it came to Dennings, his choices, or the power he exerted over Five-0 if they stepped too far from the line.

Another reason he needed to keep the thing with Chin, Kono, Malia, Adam and Delano looking cut and dry, even if it wasn't.
