Grammar
Though between comas
Hi There,
I was reading a book, and I went through this follow phrase: "She still had his e-mail, though, and she'd only read it through once".
Somebody could tell me the meaning of though in this case? I mean, that sounds a bit confuse to me, not like the usual meaning, that is, despite, however etc. In fact, I've found it more times.
Did I fail to catch something?
Thanks.

I take it as "nevertheless."
There's undoubtedly some prior context which would make the usage clear.
She claimed she wanted nothing more to do with him. She still had his e-mail, though.
But why include "and she'd only read it through once." ?
The "and" implies that the "once through" supports the previous statement.
I should think,
She claim
