He had come to see you at a difficult time in your life. So difficult that at first you weren't thinking too much about what you were doing (or not doing), like taking care of yourself... Because you no longer had anyone to look out for you.

Phoenix had come to visit you because you turned out to be an essential witness for the case he was handling. Little did he expect that you, quite conveniently, would be living your own case in your life.

Your husband had been murdered. You didn't know who, you could barely know how, and even less the reason why they did something so horrible to him... But you had find his body completely unrecognizable because of the way they abused him in your own house (mansion).

Even so, when Phoenix came to visit you, even though you were in the middle of dealing with the aftermath of your husband's death, you decided to help him through what he was going through. You went to the trial he told you to, you testified, and thanks to your testimony, he was able to turn the whole case around and win.

When they win the case, he can't help but feel closer to you, knowing that even with everything you were going through, you decided to help him. Besides, Phoenix was attracted to you, he couldn't deny that.

“We should celebrate it.” Phoenix tells you, adding you to the plan he always seemed to make with his assistant after winning a case in court. “A dinner, with all that it entails. What do you think?”

You're considering it, because you wanted to ask him to help you with your husband's case.
