Beverly notices the past tense almost immediately and it makes her heart hurt. While she might have let go of Wesley, letting him go on his own journey without her, she doesn't know that anything has happened. The uncertainty of Wesley's fate might eat at her on most days, but she does at least have the hope and optimism, and faith in her son, to believe that he is fine and he will return to her safe and healthy. No matter what he has been through.

Her look of sympathy says enough, more than anything her voice could. "Helen," she breathes softly, but that's all she can say before she slides into the rest of the conversation.

"I've also got hemp if we get really hard cases later on."
