"Then I wish for the best for you in this hard time, but I do not think that I am able to do more."
He smiled sadly. "I'm sorry... I was getting ponderous with all that complaining there, wasn't I? I'm sure you have more than enough to worry about without my help."
Again he wondered why he was so candid with this woman he barely knew. He knew part of it had to be his own need for someone to talk to about these things with, but he also felt far more comfortable with Chloe than he really should. Was that supposed to mean something?
He took another long drink to cover the awkward silence, as he struggled to think of something else to ask her.
