I thought he seemed horrified.
I do not.
I do not think that he thought that that young woman was underage while knowing that she seemed very young.

suburban safety of where he used to live and not wherever he went off where he was as a bachelor before he... I mean, I hope his wife doesn't take him back.
But besides that, I... Yeah, I found the scene with Harper heartbreaking.
I thought that Ken's performance with his breaking voice was so good.
And I loved those final lines where he says...
I don't want you to remember me that way.
And she signs the documents and says, I will always remember you this way.

I will always remember you this way and, you know, what you're doing to me right now.
But later, she might remember him this way and see it differently.
It's the kind of grace that you can have for your parents once you become an adult.
I assume that at some point she would be able to see it as protection.
