She already knew you, man. You don't let a lot of people in close, but once you do, you kind of wear your heart on your sleeve. What you told her only explained the kind of guy you'd become, it didn't change who you are. So yeah, I can believe that she loves you. It's not past tense.

This isn't going to change that, Dean. She won't blame you. NOBODY blames you except for one person, so stop being an idiot or I really will be smacking you into next week, okay?
