Sanity was apparently the watchword. By many standards, Eli was not what many people considered normal. For him, being smart came with the prices of often being strange, weird and yet, even a bit insane. He didn't normally think about it much, but it wasn't something he could just let hang between them. So that was when some of the calm facade cracked.

He might not ever be up for husband or father of the year, but he tried his best. And while he could show it in uncommon ways, his family sometimes came in first of things he cared about - and when it wasn't first, it was usually second. "What good would it do, if you knew that I was having similar 'dreams' before anything more was known about them?"
