( That I know has a painful kick in it. Not harsh, not condemning, but when she's trying to make Steph get that she's good, and helpful, and all these things that she keeps proving to be and just keeps giving where Ellie is concerned, that line feels like she just kicked a puppy. Not that there is anything "kicked puppy"esque about her, she's more like... a lion, or something.
Guiltily, Ellie relents, actually turning to face Steph again. She doesn't say sorry, not out loud, but apologies are embedded in the slightly stiff, awkward way she's holding herself. )
