Interesting. I didn't think she was very respectful of Steve, referring to him as difficult (for being dehydrated and disoriented and needing to be hospitalized) and that, "weary of his antics," she rebuffed his despair the very last time she was to see him. She seemed more self-congratulatory than anything. In spite of her little digs, though, Steve somehow managed to reach out from the grave--with his poetry--to make sure she didn't have the last say about him.

It's good that he affected her, though. Maybe it has made her a little more open minded for others.
