Maybe not so scared. Wasn’t too timid to pull the trigger now was she!
Oh, I’m pretty sure she had the adrenaline and the “fight or flight” juices going pretty good... but she was probably pissed off as well.
There’s a difference between “timid” and “scared”. If she was timid, she’d probably be in the hospital right now, beaten up, or worse, in the morgue.
But being scared and still being able to react is another thing entirely - and she did.
Glad she did.
