Do you think she'll believe that of you right now? [She sighs.] I'm an expert in waiting, Nate. I've constantly played the long game. I've had to listen and learn. She's not going to tell you what she wants. But watch her, and listen. I can't tell you what to do, but she'll offer cues without even knowing it.

[She takes another swig. Q cocks his head and whimpers a little. He might feel a little bad for Nate right now.]

If she wants her space, give it to her. If she wants to fight back, let her fight it out. She's going to have her own way of coping, and you clearly have your own as well. It's unfortunate but you're going to have to let some of this play out before you can make your move.
