"Sorry El, being on edge when Neal's being squirrely is a hard habit to shake."

"Asking to come to dinner is not being 'squirrely'."

"Needing to tell us something? That's never good."

"I guess we're about to find out who's right," El replied, as Peter went to answer the knock at their door.

Peter fluctuated between staring at the young man on his porch and the baby capsule he was holding. "Neal?"

Coming up from behind Peter, El gasped and put her hands briefly over her mouth. "Mozzie!"

She looked up to see Neal smile wistfully and nod.
