He listens to Cliff's idea, nodding slow, though his brows are furrowed.]
And she's alright with that?
[He asks as gently as he can. He doesn't want to judge the situation that works best for Cliff. But he wonders if Coco is happy with it. He doesn't even know if he could do such a thing if he were in the same shoes.]
No. [He says it quick, then again, softer.] No. I don't mean that. I wouldn't want her away from her family and, in truth, in having much similar shoes, I don't believe her real father would be able to let her go. [He smiles apologetically.]
It's only that... she'll wish you were there. But, at the same time, she wouldn't want you to be miserable. It would hurt her more to see that-- and that is not a suggestion to go hiding it. [He gives a pointed look.] No, I think the plan you have is the best one.

It's the best I could come up with.
[But yeah, no. Probably not. He's not all that happy with it, either, even if it's the best compromise.]
I know that you all living together isn't a weird thing, and I liked visiting. Just... I don't know.

Hey, it's what you need. If it works out for you two then that's all there is to it. I hope it goes well.
[He just worries for Coco too, that's all.]

I can't ask her to leave her family. Even if we stayed close, it's -- I can't put that on her.
