Laura is doing her best to follow what he's saying. It's not that she wants to panic and assume, but everything that he's telling her -- up to this point -- is that somehow she's failing in giving him those needs that his deeper self requires. Sure, she can cover his needs where sex is concerned easily enough. But, what if that's not enough anymore?
How else is she going to hold onto him if there's nothing left to give him?
But then her head catches up and when Sweeney comes to that part, her eyes bounce up to his face and she stares for what feels like a moment that was longer than it was. Yes, that big take away finally registers.
"You did?" Laura's voice is quiet; careful. She'd heard him correctly, right?
