[If things continued on the way they'd been, Neil thought they might be at odds whether they liked it or not. Changing things, making them better, that was the only way.] I want us to be more like we were before. I want my family to be able to see what I see. [Sam had mentioned Chloe before, but Mere wasn't like her. She wasn't. He leaned against her when her arms wound around him, and he gave her shoulders a reassuring squeeze.] We will.
[He hoped they could. He wanted to. Wanting it, that had to count for something.]
