Maybe not need it, but she's -- Steph.

( Collette looks faintly pained. )

When people are important, I know you want to protect them. But it's not even like family. You're choosing to be together. What's it mean if only half of you is choosing to open up enough to sort of rely on the other guy?

( As uncertain as both she and Caesar are in navigating their own relationship, and with as many hang ups and rocky moments as they've had so far -- as they'll keep having -- opening up is inevitably part of it.

Or that's what she thinks. Opening up and relying on each other. She struggles for words, or an example; Collette's aware she has trouble communicating ideas like this when it's not for some simple reason. "X is like Y because of Z." Relationships were more like imploding fractals. )


The way you talk about Saul makes it seem like you're half in love with him, too, because he can be all these things you say you need, that Ellie isn't.
