The explanation makes it even better -- we're a team -- and Maeve's mouth twists into a smile as she nods. Saying she likes the gift feels like it doesn't explain it clearly enough, it doesn't explain what it means to her, to have someone who sees himself as being on her side. No matter what they face, she knows Steve will be there for her.

It's a crazy feeling after a life of being let down by everyone.

"I love it," she says, then looks up at him with the same smile. "Really, Steve, they're amazing. Thank you."
