It is her choice, and yet there isn't one. She has to tell him yes or find another way there with everybody else in tow, and the more he talks the more uncertain she feels about that. He's right, Owen probably wouldn't listen to him. Mel definitely wouldn't. She thinks he's dangerous, and "using you for something", Abby's had a dozen fights with her about it already, and now she feels a little shocky, like she's standing to the left of herself as she realises: it's gonna be her and him, right to the end of it. The two of them, or not at all.

"Okay," she says. It sounds unsteady, so she repeats it, "Okay. I'll– find a way."

All she has to do is pack, and leave. No need to say goodbye. She doesn't even have to break up with Owen and deal with him being whiny and upset at her for it, she can just... go. That probably shouldn't be so appealing.
