She knows him well enough to know when he's trying to hurry onto another subject, and she doesn't miss the way his voice changes when he mentions possession. If he doesn't want to go down that path though, neither does she, so she lets him get away with the brush off. If there is some kind of possession going on here, Sylvie is definitely ill equipped to deal with it, and she can't bear the thought that she's walked into a place where that's an actual honest to god possibility.

Sylvie doesn't know a lot about the kind of guy and the kind of lifestyle Coop has created since they broke up. She's heard it, around town, but she's separate from it, and she's never heard it from him. She can't say she likes it, and she doesn't think it's entirely unreasonable to not be on board with the man she loves sleeping with everyone in Maine, but she also knows it's nothing to do with her anymore. She knows it's not to get back at her, and it's not something she could ever ask him to stop, so mostly she tries not to think about it much. She's pretty sure that Raleigh would want there to be something more, even if she wouldn't expect it, and she can't help but feel a little glad that the date never happened.

Her lips quirk into a smile when he mentions braiding hair, and then as if on a delay she realises he said Raleigh mentioned her. "Me?" It's not completely out of the ordinary if they were discussing Coop's romantic past, she supposes, but it still surprises her.
