Russell shakes his head, not only because he doesn't want to have her to go through any more of that again. At this point, with Bateman gone, it won't make a difference whether they were casual or near to getting married. Whatever she says officially, anyway, the media is going to say whatever they want, which Russell hates, but doesn't want to think about or bring up right now.

"No, your statement's good," he says. "You got everything we're gonna need to know, it's okay." But he's also glad to hear it a little, not because of any jealousy or possessiveness, but he'd hate to think of how much harder this would be if she'd been deeply involved emotionally. If she'd been in love with him.
