Now that they're far enough away, she'll tell him what they've been saying. "They think I'm your whore," is what she says flatly. "The truth of this place? The truth is that this town is ridiculous and I hate it. I hate them. I want you to still have the choice to come back here, though, because I think maybe you say all this, but you still want a part of it."
