"Thank you," she said. She did feel a bit responsible for Nate. He was Eliot's family and by extension therefore a part of her own. She didn't know him all that well and there were things about him that made her hesitate at times, but he was important to Eliot and in the end that was all she needed to know.

"I know what it's like waking up from a nightmare and realizing you've woken people up. After the attack, I had constant nightmares, when I could sleep at all. It got better, but then Kensi died, and that night I woke up screaming with both Nick and Eliot at full alert in my room."
"I suppose all I wanted to say was that if you ever feel that you want to talk to someone other than your friends, then I'm here and more than willing to listen."
