[Give it time, Spencer. Give it time. She has to think carefully about her response, since she doesn't want to give the mistaken impression that she's bitter or lonely; but not everyone in this world has someone they care about and want to spend time with.

Perhaps if these people who claim to care for him were to pitch in and help him complete his duties, he might feel more able to take this relaxation break?
