Paulina: It was nice of you to pay me a condolence call. It's obvious you care very deeply for your patients.
Whitley: Oh, Mayor Carver wasn't just a patient. I voted for him in every election. I even volunteered for him on his campaign. Before I ever met him, I felt as if I knew him personally.
Paulina: Mmm. Abe had an amazing talent for connecting with people.
Whitley: Oh, you did. You're very lucky to have had him for as long as you did.
Paulina: I keep telling myself that. It doesn't make the loss any easier. We were supposed to be celebrating our first wedding anniversary.
Whitley: I was there, you know.
Paulina: What?
Whitley: I was in the park the day that you got married.
Paulina: You were?
Whitley: Yes, I attended a Juneteenth barbecue and I just stumbled upon it. To watch you exchange your vows and then jump the broom, oh it made me so happy to be a small part of that day of your lives. I will never forget Abe Carver and I feel blessed to have known him.
