Wesley looked at his face, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "She asked me to take care of Shea.”
"Did she say anything else? Did she say anything about me?"
"No." Wesley's answer took all hope away from Elliot.

"I could take you out for a walk every day. When the sky is clear, we can sunbathe. When it’s raining, we can take a walk in the rain." Mike looked at Avery, and said to her.
"I don't think I would want to come out if it was raining."
"Well, I was talking about a drizzle, obviously."
"Mike, how is Hayden doing in school?
