Yeah, because they're coworkers and will continue to be coworkers for a while. Unresolved tension like that ruins morale, regardless of whose fault it is. Whether she's a good person or not, or was coupled with Rex or not, are seperate from her wanting to initiate that conversation.

Should she have done what she did without talking to Rex first? No. But she's barely an adult and is also deeply traumatised. She couldn't imagine Rex being that invested given what happened between them and Eve, and perhaps that speaks to her own self-worth, too. The topic is pretty nuanced, given how little time we spend on it.
