[Duke has something of a knack for offering tidbits of comfort when they're necessary. He can't fix everything, tells himself it's impossible even if he tried, but he can at least give Allison a little support. He's older though maybe not wiser, but he can offer a different perspective, and sometimes it's a perspective that (he thinks) she can make use of.
If that's what she needs. And when she says otherwise, he becomes more convinced that it is necessary.] All right, just holler if you need me.
[Speaking of like a dog, Duke snaps his fingers and his dog noses into the frame, her shaggy mutt face giving the definitive puppy-dog eyes.] I guess Brownie wants to go with you. Do you mind that?
