Re: Nathan & Claire - after the visit
It was, despite not realizing it until that moment, everything Nathan wanted to hear. He wanted to matter in her life, despite not being there for so long – and she was telling him that he did. It didn't mean there wasn't more work to be done on their father-daughter relationship, because there always would be, even normal work, but it was a huge step forward, he thought.
"We're gonna get you through it, and maybe Sarah can mess with time some, so we're not gone long," he said, then led her down the stairs into the building. "Now let's go get something to eat – that I didn't cook."
