"Well, that makes sense, because this is your house."
Steve's still standing by the door, looking like a bouncer as much as anything. Not actively threatening, but there's a low-level grim cloud hanging around him, collecting near his shoulders, that makes Danny think that trying to get out that door would be an exercise in futility, and maybe result in a scuffle. "Or is your point that you're here and therefore my reason has not actually been invalidated?"
He's watching, eyebrows lifting, hand still lifted and still in motion, while the one holding his beer joins it, a little less fervent but certainly not lacking in energy.
"Maybe it's that you think I should have stayed, even though I personally think it is painfully clear that would easily have been the worst possible scenario. You know, I realize that was poor behavior on my part, and I'm sorry about it, okay, but I seriously doubt sticking around would have improved matters."
It could only have made them worse. Trying to wrap his mind around Catherine being there, and wondering how long she'd been visiting. Just today? Since yesterday? Before even getting anywhere near the heart-freezing question of whether anything happened between the two of them.
Whether he has a right to wonder or not is moot. He would. Anyway.
