She sits with it long enough that it might seem like she's ignoring the question, but she's not. It's hard to say for sure, to step back and separate her own misuse of her powers from Patrick's own goals and ambitions because surely one is the bigger crime. But she can't say that there wasn't resentment there.
She had the bigger career. She had a tool to get her foot in the door. She hasn't had to use her power to get her a job as of late, but she's sure it wouldn't be a leap of logic that she had in the past.
"Maybe?" is the answer she finally comes up with. She can't say for sure, and she can't ask Patrick anymore to find out. He doesn't even remember being married to her, because she no longer exists. Also, he's dead, so ... there's also that.
Not that she relishes his death in any way. She wouldn't have one of the greatest joys of her life without him. She sighs.
"So much of our relationship got caught up in my powers, like my career, like my childhood. It's hard to tell how much of it was real, and how much was a story I told myself. My father never really taught me to know the difference. I had to figure it out on my own."
