There's an annoyed shift of his head, and narrow of his eyes, at her first set of words. He didn't say Danny said nothing. Danny saying nothing, would be like a day in Hawaii without the ocean on all sides. He said the man hadn't said anything helpful or smart toward her whole point. Toward the point of getting Steve to about face and get the hell out of dodge.
With all his still possible's and good, because I only want you's striking matches in Steve's head.
He's actually taking a drink of the beer as she starts sounding off the list, each one landing something like a dart. The thing creepy along his spine, digging those razor sharp claws in against his skin, with each set of words, another push in. Pressing into his skin, threatening to break it the more stiff his muscles go.
"Yeah. Sure." Too rough, too sharp, too still. An answer almost like for an order, even with a beer in his hands, even when he's looking down at her. When this is more than half the reason he didn't want it out, either. Because it isn't defensible. It's just desperate and necessary, and in deeper than any half heart addiction or interest already.
"I never said it was smart. I know that." It's, no, not even that simple. "We both know that."
They had to. Especially after last week. Danny might be throwing it at him like he was just more crazy. But they knew.
