She knows there's no real "making sure" but it's still important to her to try. All the stress has been written across Barbara's face as surely as Aggie's had been in Blithe Hollow.

"I will in a minute." She tilts her head at Barbara and pushes the tea towards her. "You're my family. That's why I want to." She's uncertain if now is the time to hug Barbara or if her guardian is in pain or would simply rather not be touched.

Pausing, she sits back at the table, turning her nearly empty cup. "I've seen people do bad things. I've done bad things. You don't have to hide what you do."
