study or scrutinize

study or scrutinize? Do you 'read into' words?
You study/scrutinize her every word. Stop trying to read into her every word.

Thanks

"Study" and "scrutinize" both work. "Scrutinize" seems to imply an unreasonable degree of study in this case. While "read into" is an idiom, I believe it still requires an object.
