BOB: No. I’ll, I’ll talk to him, I’ll sit him down and explain to him that you needed to go away for a bit and that maybe one day you will come back..I’ll tell him that it wasn’t his fault, that it was a decision we both made and that we are still, well…still a family. Just not in the same house and, uh, he will see you and you can both spend time maybe on the weekends when it’s convenient or, if you’re not comfortable with that, then maybe we can set up a video call once in a while and uh, it will be better for the two of you that way, perhaps…Look, I’ll do whatever you need me to do to make sure Dutchie doesn’t hold a grudge against you…I promise.
