I felt like it was more self defense. Chase never would have left her alone, he had already attempted to rape her, what would stop him from escalating to murder? Instead of waiting for him to come attack her, she created a situation that she was in control of. I felt it aligned perfectly with who she was, a survivor who since childhood was determined to live and fend for herself.

Those are actually some very good points, thank you. I may have to read it again considering the ending, to see if my initial view of it survives a second read.
