She's quiet for a moment which, despite her intentions not to, stretches into a longer moment, long enough to be telling. She's trying to gauge exactly how pointless it would be to try and talk Daryl out of what he apparently has on his mind, whether he'd want her to. He's far more selfless than she is; shitty weather or not, she doesn't want to step into that thing knowing that the last time they tried to leave one dimension for another it's only by sheer dumb luck that it didn't lead to both of them being miserable, and this time there's not even the promise of losing their memories to soothe the blow.
Once the flood of sudden, frigid fear is ebbing, she recognizes that there has to be a reason this is coming up tonight. Maybe it's just the drinking, but he doesn't seem inebriated enough for that old cliche. That's the sort of thing she wouldn't normally ask about, but if he's asking her to consider jumping off a cliff than she has the right to at least hear the full story.
And yeah, she's a little hurt if he's been thinking, for all this time, about leaving, given what it might mean.
"All this time you've been thinking about maybe leaving?" She's not even a little mad, but she doesn't keep the anxiety out of her voice. Hell, he's been on her case forever to be upfront, so now he's got to face the consequences.
