Blue's indignant rage expands in her chest from a focused anger to a more
hypothetical salt-the-earth encompassing whoever this other guy from before
is. It's worse, in a way, because she can't lay hands on whoever it was
that hurt Beth, then, that made all of this worse. But it's also not her
fight, and she takes a long breath, slowing her heartbeat, and keeps her
mouth shut for once because she's not helping anything that way.
"I'm sorry," she says, quietly, and maybe she means for asking too many
questions, and maybe she means for what happened, or both. "Take your time,
okay? We can stay here as long as you need."
