With Saul alone, she'd never think anything like that, she wouldn't worry about it all being for nothing. But it's not just Saul, and the more time passes the more she wonders why she's even trying with Dick, when he won't listen to a word she says, when it seems like he doesn't care how much he hurts or worries her.
She doesn't trust herself not to choke on any words she might try, so she just kisses him properly, instead, slow and careful as she guides his hands to her waist before winding her arms around his shoulders.]

[He doesn't expect her to say anything; he just waits for whatever's coming next, so he's pleased to see it's such an encouraging kiss.
(Not that he expected something else, but one never knows.)
His hands settle on her hips at first, but then he decides to wrap his arms around her instead, pulling her flush against him. They probably should move, but really, he just wants to keep kissing her like this. Nothing more, not right now.]
Pretty sure he wants to punch me on instinct anyway.
[Can she argue with that?
It's a good point, though, the one she's making, so he reluctantly releases his hold on her save for his grip on one of her hands and gestures for her to lead the way elsewhere.
[She's not actually so sure about that, but she doesn't really want to think about that all too much right now.
So she uses her free hand to scoop up Mike - she's not allowed to ruin the flowers - before leading Saul into their bedroom and closing the door. Now she can kiss him without worrying about either of the kids.]

[She manages to keep her tone light and plaful, despite the ache in her chest.
She misses Jesse, too.]

[She'd have to hit her head pretty hard to forget that. Or, you know, have a close encounter with Max again...
That's not a thought he wants to have.
Here's that kiss, finally, pressed lightly to her chin.]
More like... that you're not just doing this all for nothing.

I'm pretty sure Dick will just punch you on instinct if he catches us kissing.
[which is - kind of fair.]

To the bedroom, he's guessing.]
