Last order of business - Town morale
Pawnee was idyllic in a lot of ways, or maybe Leslie just looked at it through rose-coloured glasses. Maybe she was doing that here in Marrowood and maybe that was going to get her killed, but she didn't care. If she didn't look at things in a positive way she wouldn't work so hard to get things done, or to make things better than they were. Being too optimistic was sometimes seen as a fault; Leslie, however, thought it was her greatest strength.
Leslie put a hand on Rick's shoulder, and offered an encouraging smile. "We'll get through this, together. We'll figure something out. People are kind of amazing like that." Leslie believed that with all her heart, and she was not prepared to give up on this town even if it did seem to suck the hope right out of her.
She nodded at Rick's offer. "I will definitely ask for help. No man is an island, and no one can do this alone."
