Abby took a deep breath and closed her eyes briefly before stepping towards her door. She reached across her body and gave Bruce's arm a soft squeeze.

"Thank you." She said very quietly. Another breath and she was opening the door and finally venturing back out into Taxon. A pit formed in her stomach, but she reminded herself that Bruce wouldn't harm her. He'd come all this way to apologize, to make amends - and she was doing her damndest to show him that she wasn't afraid of him. It was really too bad that she was, to a point - or rather, afraid of what he could become.

"Sorry, I don't go easy on anyone. You go bowling with me and you better expect to watch me wipe the lanes with you." She tried to smile, and succeeded in part. Abby looked back at her tablet and then at the streets. "I think it's this way." She pointed to her left, "Just a few blocks, then another few south."
