"You couldn't have known." In a way, Dawn was angry at Stephanie too, though it was mostly for hurting Tim. Her next words almost didn't come out, but now as not the time to think about herself. "At least you can be happy now. That she's alive." And here, but she didn't say that out loud. She squeezed his hand gently, mostly just trying to tell him that she was there to support him.
