Realizing he'd made Cassy jump, Leo was sorry, but as she moves on, he does as well. As he's helping put out the food though, he finds out the real reason behind her uneasiness. The mention of Steve makes him bristle.
Though his eyes were on the plate as he helped with the food, his motions were absentminded. Steve was a jerk, no doubt, and he had no right to have shown up here. Leo almost wished he hadn't waited so long to come. He would have given Steve whatfor. Maybe it was good he hadn't come until now.
Pausing with the help, Leo turns to watch Cassy for a moment. He knew she was determined and strong-willed, but somewhere, surely there was still some hurt.
"I'm proud of you," he mentions honestly. "I'm sure that wasn't easy."
Looking back to the table, then to her again, he tries giving her a smile. "You okay?"
