But as he explains his philosophy, her nerves steady. She takes a deep breath and looks up at him, even smiles a little at his heartfelt gesture.
"I've spent a long time caught up in the past," she admits. "I thought focusing on the future would somehow save me from myself... but you're right. The present is all we really have."
Taking another sip of her drink, she finally relaxes a little. In this moment, she is grateful to have company at a party that is compassionate and kind. "He would've hated being here," she muses aloud. "But he would have looked nice."
