Melanie was paranoid, always watching over her shoulder to ensure that danger was far behind her, which wasn't uncommon for a hacker of the Rising Tide. When SHIELD show's up in her and Skye's lives, she finds herself peering over her shoulder a lot more, unable to trust anyone, keeping secrets about her life that could lead to her breaking the teams trust. Secrets are dangerous in SHIELD, especially since you never know a spy's true intentions. You never know what people are willing to use against you. You never know who is a friend and who is an enemy. Is Grant Ward the one person that she could find herself being able to trust? To open herself up to? Maybe it's better to be as cold as ice.
