Thomas, you're one of the least selfish people I know. You're always doing everything you can to help others. I know that wherever you decide to be, it will be the right thing, and you will do so much good. Either place is good for you to be. Personally, I like the idea of you being there to protect Stephie. But I like the idea of you being here to help Dad, too.

I don't know... I'm here for Dad, but I can't go to Rome. Well, I could, I guess, but... I don't know. I guess I'm too scared. I sure as hell don't blame you for being afraid of that place. We've both been there, even if you got it a hell of a lot worse than I did...
