grabs hospital's collar, voice low and dangerous Don't play dumb with me, babe. I've seen those secretive glances, heard the hushed whispers.
If you want to know why I have been acting so distant lately, it’s because I’m trying to keep us safe.
tightens grip on hospital's collar Safe? You think keeping secrets is the best way to keep us safe?

Alright, I’ll tell you everything.

There was a threat on your life. I didn’t want to worry you so I kept it myself.
rolls her eyes, scoffs Oh, really? You think keeping such a huge secret from me was the best way to protect me?
snorts, fuming You think you can just keep shit from me and expect me to believe it's all for my own good?
No, I didn’t expect you to believe me. I was just trying to be a hero in my own eyes.
