The incredulous question slips out before she can help herself, her expression showing just how aghast she is by that notion. "But-... how do you-... this is just life for you now? Don't you want to get back to wherever you came from and go back to whatever you were doing?"
And then it occurs to her that, if not for Peter, she wouldn't really have much of a reason to get back, either. Her home life isn't great, she hadn't gotten into M.I.T., she'd probably be stuck working pushing coffee and donuts for way longer than she'd initially anticipated, and to top things off, she won't even remember Peter when she gets back. How was she supposed to have moved on from that?
Shaking her head to get that thought out of there, she rubs at her temple and tells him, "Sorry. I'm not trying to assume anything about you or what you have or haven't done. This is just a lot for me to process. And I don't want to know what could possibly spook you if you've already been here as long as you have."
