Notes

1. ↑ "[...]He did empathize with her, but of course there was a lot to do. I was good to see her, but at work there was - work. Should he invite her over? He would have to check with his wife first, of course, but he might at least suggest a more social, after-hours setting if she needed more emotional support."
