“But he knows you’re there for him, right? You offer, you say, you are at his side? When he calls, you answer?” She focused her gaze inward a little, then back to Allison. “What is it you think you should be doing?”
Of course he does. She wanted to say but, honestly she didn’t know. ”I hope he does…And I always try to be.” She closed her eyes for a second before answering. ”I should be out there trying to find a way to help him. without him, I’m pretty sure all of us would be different people. He brings us closer together.”
Carefully, Summer asked, “What is it you think you can do? What kind of help does he need, that you aren’t already providing?” She shaped her inflection to pure curiosity. No condemnation. “Tell me what’s going on, hon.”
