She watches him, watches the way he holds back from embracing her. She's not sure how she feels about that - there's a part of her that recognizes she needs it, wants it … but everything that she's been through has made her reticent to open up to people.

She's not getting a glass of water, though; pulling out a bottle and pouring herself a shot of bourbon. Self medication. Liquid strength. Trying to recapture a bit of the self confidence she once had. She agreed with him; if Dylan was away from Carl, she didn't want him going back, but she doubted her own abilities to help.
