"Ele, you have a natural ability with painting.  Even if the painting is only as a hobby, it is a gift."

Hearing her question he says.

"I want you here cuz I love your company.  I don't care if you're broken, wouldn't it be nicer to have somebody to help piece you back together even if it takes a while than to cover the cracks?"

He asks looking directly at her.

"Most of us have cracks and breaks, most of us are not complete.  We all have our flaws, you just gotta find that someone that is willing to help you fix yourself and themselves."
