He still loves those horses, huh?
Yeah, he'll be out there till bedtime.
I gotta get him out of that hospital.
He needs to come home.
There's a company in Texas with an experimental drug that might help.
But the insurance companies don't pay for it, of course.
My parents sold their beach house a year ago, which was a godsend.
We've done a few fundraisers.
But I never would have guessed that we would run out so fast.
Stay for dinner, okay?
So you drink now?
Just a glass or two at dinner.
Tim got me started a couple years ago.
Why are you looking at me like that?
What do you mean?
How am I looking at you?
Differently.
I don't know. How do you want me to look at you?
You're different.
I don't know why I came here.
I mean, what are we doing?
I mean, we're sitting here, and we're eating, and we're talking, but no one's actually saying anything.
What do you want me to say?
What do you want to talk about?
Why didn't you call? Call me.
I mean, did I not deserve any more explanation than that letter?
You couldn't have called me. You couldn't have given me some sort of chance to, like, change your mind.
Don't you think you owed me that?
I couldn't.
You couldn't?
You thought that little of me that you couldn't have just called me.
Why?
Because I couldn't.
Give me an answer. Why? Why not?
Because I couldn't.
I want an answer.
Because just hearing your voice, I would have changed my mind.
Is that what you want to hear, John? Is that what you came all this way to hear from me?
You think it was tough out there?
And what, you think it was easy for me without you?
You thought that every single day wasn't a goddamn marathon of my life without you?
Tim was sick.
He was sick and he needed me.
He needed me to help him.
He needed me to help him with Alan, with everything.
I was alone and I had no idea what I was doing.
I didn't plan this.
I didn't know that it was going to happen to me.
But it did.
But you don't think I tried?
I picked up the phone a thousand times to try to call you.
You think that I really want to be standing here in front of you like this?
I had no choice.
I saved every single one of them.
In so many places.
I think the yellow one looks really nice.
Really?
I even have your first, your very first letter to me.
Tim's water bill.
Sorry.
That's okay.
