She says she can't think straight right now… she can't talk to Olivia. We just decided we were going to tell Emma today at the BBQ. Together. How could this…it has to be more then just a coincidence? It must have meaning. He says yes I agree…she asks but what? He says if I knew I'd tell you. You are on the road to that but it is a journey you must take by yourself. She says I saw Frank today but I couldn't tell him and I can't talk to Olivia about it. Oh what do I do?! He says go away… she looks at him… he says go away by yourself and figure it out. She says run away?! He says no, not away towards… get to a place where you can find peace then you will know what to do.
