"I loathe feeling helpless," I say with a sigh, but I so often do here. Sometimes the problems that Darrow presents are so much bigger than me, requiring skill and knowledge I just do not have, and I find myself relegated to the sidelines. It's an awful feeling.

"But at least everyone is okay, right?" We should focus on the positive. Everyone is okay. "All's well. Or-- it will be, when Eddie gets back to normal."
