This is uncomfortable, though for a few more reasons than Daryl is aware. She's lying to him still and has no intention of remedying it. She can't. If just what he knows feels this huge, Lizzy and Mika might be insurmountable. That's not why she's keeping it to herself, but it sounds better in her mind.
Carol shrugs at his words, tense enough to be anything but dismissive. Rather, just agreeing that it was inevitable. "I'm sure you find out eventually, back home." Actually, she's sure he knows already in her time. She just doesn't know what he thinks, whether he'd have fought for her if Rick gave him the chance. Based on Daryl's reaction here she isn't sure what to believe -- which was probably exactly his first reaction.
"It wasn't you. I couldn't stop. Random strangers know." Having outsiders know their business doesn't settle well. But hopefully they also know that she's sorry about it. Not that she did it, not exactly, but that it came to that. Her demeanor was not that of one who doesn't care.
