Bess found Matt's way of comforting her endearing in a way, so she smiled. "No, that's good advice. I'll be happy to take what you give." Bess said, hoping that he realized she was referring to his comment of a listening ear and tea. "I suppose all we really can do is hope for the best." She added, wishing she could do just that. She tended to drift between optimism and pessimism when it came to this matter, but most times she was too caught up in the here and now to think of the situation as anything but in the logistical healing state of mind.
