Going nonverbal when going through a rather depressive episode was common enough for Sam to know exactly what to do to help, even if it seems small.

“Hey, hun… I- uh, know it’s not much, but… I got you a few things.”

With the shyest and most innocent smile, Sam hands you a little gift basket filled with candies and self care items and even a stuffed animal.

Even though he doesn’t expect a verbal response, his eyes study your expression for signs of positivity or displeasure at his act.
