If she hadn't been run through the wringer with all this police business-- treated like a bomb about to go off and interrogated (or oh-- sorry-- ~questioned~) more than once, she might have just turned around right there and tried to assert dominance over the entire dynamic here right off the bat.
It was what she would have done before.
But she'd already been informed that this guy was ex-FBI.
If she got in further trouble for trying to threaten her new caretaker, she knew damn well whose word would win out over hers.
So she put the last box down on the bed and turned around, not wanting to keep her back turned on him any longer than necessary.
"I guess."
She'd been allowed to grab a croissant and some coffee at the airport, but aside from that, she was running on empty. Admitting HOW hungry she was felt a little too much like displaying a weakness, though, so that noncommittal answer was probably the best Coop could hope for.
