Caitlen had been keeping to herself for a while. She wasn't ignoring d'Artagnan or giving him the silent treatment, but she wasn't going out of her way to have conversations with him or come home from work. Part of her reasoning was because she just didn't want to have to admit that he may be right, but also she hated herself for how upset she got when he was simply trying to help her.
Caitlen's problem was that she hated depending on someone to help her, that even meant a service dog helping her. She wanted to convince everyone she didn't need anyone's help and could manage on her own, but the truth was, since her accident that was less than true. While there were some things she could handle there were others that she couldn't. This was a fact that was tearing her apart on the inside. Caitlen more than anything didn't want to be a burden.
Having to accept that she needed help was hard for her, but Caitlen was starting to realize she would have to get over herself and let people help her. She just hoped that people (her sisters) didn't say "i told you so" becaause Caitlen would have to smack them all if they did.
