A sarcastic remark at the moment would have not gone over all that well. She'd understand why he did it, but she's not in the mood to make light of a situation that really does scare the hell out of her. Oh, sure. She can act all big and tough and pretend this isn't getting to her for the sake of the people around her.
But she can't fake it around Raleigh. Not if she wants whatever this is to work out. She just buries herself in his arms for a bit, eyes closed tightly. Her head rests against his shoulder and her fingers have closed tightly in his shirt.
She may not let go for a while.
"If I sound ungrateful with what I'm going to say, don't take it that way. I don't mean to sound ungrateful for anything at all. I love the help I'm getting. But I'm not used to it. No one's said anything, but I feel like maybe I'm a burden? Just a little bit. Like I'm inconveniencing people. Is that stupid?"
She'll be fine if he thinks it's stupid. It won't offend her at all.
