Lisa watches him, lets him get things out without interrupting him. She knows it's hard for him to say, it's hard for her to hear. The knowledge that she did in fact help though does ease the ache of possibly betraying his trust a bit. She's glad that he's not mad with her for telling Mick...it was actually something she was pretty worried about.
She's also glad that from what he's saying, that him and Mick have talked and hopefully reached an understanding. She really hopes so. Lenny has so little in his life and it breaks her to think he might lose such an important part of it...someone she would actually bet holds more of Lenny's heart than even she does.
"I didn't understand really...not at first. Not until my junior year in high school.....then I understood what really happened." She didn't elaborate...Lenny didn't know what happened to her and she wasn't of mind to tell him. She didn't need to make this about her...and she really didn't want to deal with angry Lenny on top of sad/depressed Lenny.
"And then well...it had been almost five years and I didn't know how to mention it or say anything without making things a million times worse. I figured you'd be okay...but then...all of this..." She waves her hand around at the room indicating the tension and the fights he and Mick had been having. "I just didn't want you to lose him...."
