She picks at some imagined snag on a nail for a moment, avoiding this entire conversation without avoiding it. She could get up, leave, tell him to can it, to go away, whatever. She doesn't do any of those things, though.
"Someone came and...took us all by surprise. She was gunning for him."
And what he did to get there doesn't matter, isn't important. She knows. She knows why Abby killed Joel and she knows it's because of her. If she'd have died in that hospital like she was supposed to then things would be different.

She finally looks up, back at Neal, steady.
"So now I'm gunning for her," she says and doesn't falter.
