I get this feeling that even though Bren has his anxiety problems he strives to take care of all of them. He is very nurturing person. He would be the first at the door if Gabe was out on something on a long case. He would guide Del to bed and wait up till she got home.
I am almost certain he is from an old rich Charlotte family. And he would so snuggle her in rthat corner...besides no worry I'm at work .
