"I know. I'm not upset with you, and I certainly don't blame you or think it was a calculated response. That doesn't mean it didn't shake me a little, or make me think that both of you are a little rattled, too... Makes me want to go right back to trying to balance and check in with everyone." Or mediate, or something. It was a scary moment, and that's just the long and short of it. Probably had been scary for Damon, too, and obviously bothered her in retrospect.
