Eh.

It could be just her going thru possible consequences out loud. Maybe intentionally to drive the point home about what could have happened.

Like, this is some real shit that women do always need to be aware of, and men just never fucking think about, because we don’t have to.

OP could live in a super sketch area where this level of vigilance is warranted and this shit could be going thru her head.

Like from her POV OP didn’t take the risk serious enough to meet her, if he’s not willing to do that, her mind is running thru where the line is on what he would do. You zero into that by asking big questions. And again, it could be to try and set in the possible consequences.

Like, her wanting to know what level of commitment he has to her safety. I doubt it was extrajudicial executions in her mind, and more Liam Niessons style rescue as a rhetorical device.

For a woman a partner who values their security and safety is important both on an instinctual and sadly still practical level. They have a lot more threats then the average dude will ever think about, especially when young and in the dating stages of life. Even married men sometimes don’t learn about it till later when they have kids their responsible for.
