"I didn't," she defended immediately, shooting Grayson a look, "It took me months to sort out all the legal shit for the pub, I've got boxes upon boxes of random papers in a storage place---it's going to be madness." She flushed, though, knowing quite well that Grayson knew the kind of household she came from. Not many people did (or at least, not many people let her know that they did), and Fiona could not overcome the embarrassment of being stuck in a situation like it for so long.
No matter how many times people told her it wasn't her fault, she still felt guilty for not doing more. Endless cycle of anger and blame.
Fiona looked down for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts. She felt no qualms about going out with Grayson, though she knew Tom had his nagging issues with the man. Fiona could understand those, of course, but---she also needed some time to think before she went back home and had to deal with discussing everything with Brianna. Even though she was the older sister, Fiona often felt like the one under the microscope (which was a lot of her own mental doing, but-), so---taking some time would be beneficial to everyone.
"Yeah, all right," she said with a nod.
