[What does she want to know? Everything, from the beginning. How does a teenage boy come to be possessed by a demon? What can he do? How strong is it? Should she be more afraid? The whole, ugly story, not the partial whitewashed story she'd settled for with Nikolai. People have been trying to claw the truth out of her for too long; someone else doing the baring would be a welcome change for once.
But that's what she wants. What she needs.
So wrapped up in what she'd needed, she'd pushed Townes to the brink of a mental breakdown. She'd ruined her relationship with Jenna because of what she'd needed. Gutted her mom. And Anna... And Sean, and Cliff, and Logan, so many people she'd pushed away or hurt because her need superseded theirs.
What does Peter need?
She rubs her palms over her knees, scraping off whatever impulse there is to treat him like a chance to rectify mistakes made with other dangerous men in the past. She's careful, both because she doesn't know the first thing about monsters and demons and because she's the proverbial bull in the china shop of traumatic subjects.]
