It's not that she doesn't believe what he told her, necessarily. The words he said haunt her still, may always linger. I killed Asch. I tried to kill Luke. And I did so very aware of my intentions.
The rest of the conversation after that... even now she's not sure what to think of it. In a way, it was a whole lot of nothing - Guy just insisting that he'd said exactly what he'd meant to say, and she could tell Luke precisely that or make something up, and that was it.
Part of her might always believe he's not really trustworthy.
But for the sake of the little boy in his arms, she's just got to try. ]
I think he was a little disappointed I couldn't tell him anything else. But ... you were right about that part. It wasn't really ... something I could do. That had to be you.
[ She looks at him for a long moment, expression neutral until his last comment pulls half a smile out of her.
For another moment she doesn't say anything, instead reaching out to gently brush some hair away from Luke's face. He lets her do it, and a tender smile crosses her face. ]
Did he ever tell you what it was that brought us together?
[ Not how they met. Not how they started dating, necessarily. But the thing that made them close in the first place - the thing that started it all. ]
