around the time of diana’s ect treatments, dan asks natalie if she’s okay. she always deflects, so his concern manifests in different ways.
when natalie gets home late, there are always leftovers in the fridge, because dan cooked a meal and waited for hours for natalie to walk in, and when she didn’t he packed it away so she could heat something up easily whenever she needed to.
the belongings that natalie dumps on the floor when she gets in are laid carefully on the kitchen counter the next morning.
the shoes she cast off at the stairs are set side by side at the door.
her favorite childhood snack is slipped into her backpack, because dan knows she still likes it.
dan leaves her notes the way he used to when she was younger. natalie doesn’t open any of them until after diana has left.
i’m just. thinking about dan being a worried dad and not knowing how exactly to help his daughter.
