That was a difficult question for her to answer. For all of the reasons of her circumstances in life and likely some of her temperament, she didn't truly trust most people, but being coy and evasive would get her nowhere and in fact likely make her look guiltier than she was. Better to just keep from saying anything, like always.
But that wasn't exactly an option now, with Margaery's hand so recently against her cheek and her involuntary reactions betraying her.
"I would like very much to," she finally settled on answering. That was the most polite way to say it, probably, to say that she didn't offer trust easily but could make exceptions.
She looked all around them as if searching for the words, then let her gaze fall to the ground as she continued, "There was someone, yes. Nobody here." And she prayed that Margaery wouldn't press further, though she suspected she might.
