I'll Be There For You

phoebe Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and annoint you "Do you have cotton in your ears?" she said, a little teasingly. Phoebe was desperate to get him out of this downward spiral he was on. The weight of grief, the weight of responsibility - it was a lot to take on all at once. Yet despite her words, he seemed insistent to try and take it all on by himself. "You don't have to do it on your own. I'm here to help you." she repeated, running a hand down his neck and good shoulder and arm, giving it a comforting squeeze. "I can cook and clean. Though, I need to stay closer to town. You and Chris and Milly can all stay at the clinic with me?" It was sort of a trek but doable to get to the fields. And better than staying in that house which was definitely not livable. For all she knew, Emmett would prefer to burn it down. "So there. Thats one thing done and taken care of! So three more?" she said, trying to make it seem more manageable. Three more things he listed was all that needed sorting. He had a place to live, and someone who could cook and take care of a house. "I am certain there are some Outlanders who can help. And certainly you have some Natural friends who would be willing to pitch in?" she said. They did all need a good operating farm. It was necessary to survive. "Maybe we can find a dog to help guard the livestock. That's a pretty common practice isn't it?" Phoebe smiled a little, trying very hard to think positively for him.
