She wrinkles up her face at him, squinting in the sun, unrepentant and unmoved by the lolling sarcasm of his response. "I haven't suddenly decided anything."
Certainly not if the type of 'supervision' she'd have suggested is the kind he needs, and a few misgivings start tapping on the glass, despite her best attempts at ignoring them. Asking that question again. If he cares so much, where is this person? Why aren't they around to be there with him in the hospital, or at home?
Still, she slides her hands out of her pockets and turns back towards the house, walking briskly, shoulders straight and relaxed, calling back over one of them, "don't worry, I'm sure I'll give you some reminders."
And she's not done. Not by a long shot, but Steve has always been close-lipped and difficult to crack when he's got information he doesn't want to share, and she knows she's not going to get a name or details tonight.
That's fine. There's plenty she can ask about that has nothing to do with names or identifying information. He'd said a few weeks, but he was in Japan a few weeks ago. So did it happen right when he got back? And how is it aside from good, and something that can give him that open, vulnerable, unconsciously soft look on his face?
But they've got all night, and right now, there's a hospital to get to.
