It makes Marcus think a little of Sam. Of what might have been had he not been so afraid, had Sam not disappeared. Nate had been bothered by their relationship and Marcus had used that as an excuse to run, to put distance between himself and Nate's brother when in reality it had been his own fear and hesitance that had prevented them from being anything more.
Sam had asked him once what to do. Marcus hadn't had an answer.
"There may not be anything you can do," he says. "For yourself or for Neil. It may just be what it is, which I know is a terribly unhelpful response, but..." He trails off and shrugs slightly. "It may also be the truth."
