Her fingers tap a little on her cane, a telltale sign that she's thinking. It's hard to voice her annoyance - it's hard to be annoyed at anyone at all when in her head she's screeching that this isn't needed, especially on a vacation, and that she owes Erin gratitude and kindness and the best face forward. She owes it to her to be a good girl. No one needs her being frustrated that she's not bright enough to find the missing pieces.
But she also trusts her, and there are precious few that she does here, and this wants to eat her alive unless she says something about it. Still, the guilt wants to tear at her, and it's hard to not apologize for coming there at all.
"I just...feel like there's something large in the room that everyone else knows and that I'm missing because I can't see it, ever since the wedding. And of course, this isn't your fault - it's mine, for not clarifying. I'm sorry if this is difficult at all."
