The florist quotes the movie out loud while Ever quotes it in his head, and were he the sort for it, he might have passed out next to Mateo on the couch. He isn't, though, and so it's with a nudge that he forces Mateo up and to his room. Before going to his room, Ever puts 2 aspirin and a large glass of water next to Mateo's bed, considers, and then moves them out of arm's reach just incase Mateo flails during the night.

Will Cara be on shift tomorrow? He hopes not.
