Right, so he says it like that, in that way that lets Maeve know he's actually bothered by it all and she had known this was going to happen. She's known right from the start that she would find some way to screw this up and make things weird. Worse than fucking up a potential relationship, though, now she's going to lose her friend, just like she did with Jackson and with Otis.
This is why she never wanted a boyfriend. This is what Aimee didn't seem to understand.
They ride in silence for most of the way and Maeve wishes she could smoke, then chews on her thumbnail again as she stares out the window. Beside her, she can sense Steve trying to talk, then deciding against it, and somehow that makes it worse. What she doesn't expect is for him to take her hand and she turns back to look at him, her eyebrows drawn together.
He wants to talk. Not just bail, but talk, and Maeve finds herself nodding before she glances at the driver.
"Once we're checked in, yeah?" she asks. If she's going to get dumped, she'd rather not do it in the car with a witness.
