It isn't at all what April expects to hear and for a moment she just looks at Coop as if she's trying to read him. She doesn't think poorly of him and she doesn't think he's the kind of person who just abandons people when they do something he might not particularly like, but what she's just told him is rather huge. In some states she's still considered a wanted criminal, she's broken the law over and over again, she's amassed a good amount of money based solely on her lies and for some reason he's still sitting next to her, not only telling her he'll still be her friend but that he'll help her with whatever she needs to do in order to get her powers back.
April has no idea what she's ever done to deserve such loyalty, but for a second she can't quite believe it's being so freely given.
She's suspicious of it, but not because of anything Coop has or hasn't done. It happens because she's spent her life on her own, the only person she can trust or rely on, and while this isn't the first time he's offered something else, while he's not even the first person to offer such support, it still takes her off guard for a moment.
"I haven't done a job in a long time," she says. "Not since I came here." She doesn't think she needs to defend what she does, but she wants him to know that anyway. "I don't know what I'll do in the future, but I do know that I like working for you."
She pauses, then smiles a little and she doesn't know what to say to make him understand that what he's said means a lot to her. She's never been good at anything like this, expressing herself when it's genuine, making people understand when she cares. Finally she says, "At least I didn't give you a fake name."
