Adam says that she looks tired, and he’s a listening ear if she needs one. He says that it might be good to talk about what’s keeping her up at night.
She glares at him and says, “Don’t you mean who is keeping me up at night?”

Adam says he wishes he could help, but he knows that she can handle anything.
