[He could tear her mind apart. She doesn't doubt that. Given what he's shown her so far. If he's a permanent fixture of life here, she wonders how long it will take for one of them to lose their cool. Or maybe they'll continuously exchange proverbial blows. She could see that happening, too.

He's looking at her and in many situations where she's felt as if she could easily slip under the radar of others, she feels very aware.
