She frowned, though not at him, more at herself and the situation. She hadn't intended the conversation to go this way, and it was obvious from his demeanor he didn't know what to do with it now any more than she did. Although it was sort of a relief to say those things out loud, now that it was done, it was done.
"I don't equate you with them," she finally said. "And I have not been looking for any way to...replace..what I went through." She just preferred to push it aside most of the time. She wasn't ashamed of it or anything, it had just been her life. Her life was generally crummy, but she made the best of it.
"And if I had wanted you to stop touching me, I would have stopped you," she added, with what was probably a slightly more feral than she had intended little smile. What that said about when she was hooking, and how she didn't stop them, she didn't really know.
And then she sighed faintly and shook her head. "This was not how this date was supposed to go." Jessica had told her to have fun, and she had been, and now...this. Oy.
