Just moments ago, Jacqueline mentioned how Conrad sounded like he was making a last will, and now Haley Perez is on about him setting his affairs in order, clearly indicating Conrad's behavior was off the charts.

A dream I had, coupled with Conrad's haunting question about what if he were to die, flashed before my eyes. Even though I've moved past loving or hating the man, the thought of facing life and death, even with a stranger, isn't something I could just ignore.

Haley was a mess, a picture of utter despair, but she was crying to the wrong person. I had no pity to offer, let alone comfort her.

But, knowing Conrad as I did, I couldn't help but say, "Conrad isn't the type to give up."

If someone crumbles at the first sign of trouble, they clearly lack backbone. If they can't be responsible for themselves, they sure can't be for anyone else.
