『You keep your distance via the system of touch, and gentle persuasion. I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time. You're just, just, just wasting time. Something happens and I'm head over heels. I never find out, until I'm head over heels.』
STEVE CAN TELL that what Jason had said about a connection between Will's disappearance and your own had deeply disturbed you. You don't speak on the drive home, despite his attempts to calm and distract you. He tries to convince you that Jason had been being a jerk, just trying to freak you out for shits and giggles.
