The words sting a little, but it's far too obvious that Peter definitely thought they had something. She takes a deep breath and tries to pull herself together.

"I'm sorry you're hurting," she says, making an effort to keep her voice steady. "But I'd known for a while things weren't working out. I didn't mean for you find out the way you did. And after you scared me, I thought a clean break would be better for everyone."

Never mind that she didn't think to consult Peter in any of this. Never mind that it's all bullshit anyway.
