"I've always wanted to please you, but I've realized I just can't understand you. Take this time, for instance. I knew you've been wanting to deal with the Stewart family, so I stepped in to help, but you didn't appreciate it. I've found that no matter what I do, you're never pleased."
"Or... is it not that you don't want help, but that you just don't want *my* help? If it were Noah Phillips, would you readily accept it?"
Sienna Johnson quickly explained, "Adrian, I do appreciate it! I am happy! I know you're doing this for my own good. All these years, I've been so, so tired on my own. Your shoulders are broad and strong, and I feel so secure leaning on them... But I want to face everything myself. I just need you to be there for me to lean on when I'm tired..."
"Adrian, do you understand?"
