More often than he likes to admit. She'll take the victory.
"It can be nice, in a way. The suddenly free time." But her tone suggests she understands too well why it'll be bittersweet for him. He's got someone waiting for him back home. She can imagine how alluring that would be.
Bobbi is a great investment of affection from everybody. She might be tiny, but she's got a lot of wiggles to give. Ver would love to ignore this new conversational turn in favor of adorable puppy shenanigans. Han might enjoy the show, the way her expression shifts from panic to relief to guilt. She'd halfway figured he'd noticed, but... she'd kinda been hoping they wouldn't have to have this conversation.
She never said she's not a coward.
It's hard to not immediately leap to Matt's defense, and he'll see that in her expression too, but she fights down the impulse. Matt doesn't need her defending him right now, and Han doesn't need that either. "That's generous of you," she whispers. It's almost a 'thank you'. "I should have told you. When I realized it was more than flirting I didn't want to hurt you more right away, and then you got shot, and then... I didn't know how to bring it up."
