"I can't leave now, not like this. I didn't get a chance to explain anything."
"You told him about us, didn't you?"
"Yes, but that's all I said, nothing else."
"What else needs to be said? You were going to tell him and we were going to take a break. It should be easier for you now that he's gone. You were worried he'd make a scene, beg you to stay, remember? Do you remember telling me that?"
"I remember."
"So what's the problem, Ellen?"
"What about Carl? What am I going to do with him? I was going to leave him with Clayton when I left."
"Bring him with you. I'll pick you up in an hour."
"Wait. Not yet, I'm not ready."
"Ellen...."
"No, it's okay. I just need a little more time. Okay, Dean?"
