She doesn't know if she believes it yet. Doesn't know if she can. But he does, and right now for the sake of argument is a starting point, and she is desperately in need of those. Firm ground will come later. Or never, she thinks absently, because right now her whole world has become a whirl that doesn't feel as if it will ever settle into place again.
"They had no grudge. They had no, no reason to --" Except for Simon, except for inquiring too closely, except for anything short of full cooperation with authorities and all this is something Regan will not, cannot examine closely right now.
