I didn't follow him, for one thing. And I didn't... object to any boundaries he set for Neal, I told him I understood why Doug got angry with him.

[Shaw pauses for a long moment, her fingers restlessly stroking Jet's head as she studies Will's face.]

I didn't know why he was panicking. I figured he was intimidated by me, and scared that I was going to, I don't know, tell him that I hated him now and I was giving up on trying to talk with him. I was trying to show that I wasn't going to do that, even though, honestly? I kind of wanted to.

[Another, briefer pause.]

Like I said. He struck me as the kind of guy who'd appreciate stubborn persistence. I miscalculated and I messed up.
