−	I believe the current explanation misses a part of the point. Meghan expresses a fear of having to reject a romantic overture, and it is when the other woman begins to make such an overture that she cuts her off and pivots to storm chasing -- because she would otherwise have had to make precisely the kind of rejection she fears to make. So Meghan is not cutting the other woman off because she worries she is interested but has confessed too much, but rather because she is not interested and, as she has just expressed, is afraid of rejecting people.--[[User:Banshee\|Banshee]] ([[User talk:Banshee\|talk]]) 04:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)Banshee

 I read this as Megan possibly wanting a 'more than friends' relationship with blonde-hair, but never having the guts to say anything.
