Scared of the truth.
The reassuring hand rubbing up and down her arm comforted her, and she breathed a deep sigh. Turning around, she smiled up at her partner, who returned the gesture with his own goofy grin. He held up a large file. "You're going to just love this case Scully."
Maybe someday, she would allow herself to really open her mind and believe as freely as her partner did. Maybe someday. Today, she prepared herself to argue with whatever crazy ideas he had come up with this time.
