Bob know that where a person is at ‘depends’. Where do you need them to be, really? That’s where they are. You might TELL yourself you want them there right now, but you don’t NEED them there right now. You need a minute, and Bob has a sense for that.
Apparently, when people DON’T need you to be someplace, you just… aren’t. Bob’s definitely got a sense for that.
I dunno if I’d trust Bob to fix a car, or a computer, or an actual heart. But if you need him to fix your mood, or your mindset, or your metaphorical heart… y’know, I’d want him there, doing his thing.
