He has a new fiancée, Julia (Rosario Dawson) he has a microbrewery that’s coming up in the beer-world he has joint custody of his and Tessa’s young daughter Lily (Isabella Kai Rice).

It’s the stare that asks, “Why are you placing that glass on the table when you know it will leave a ring?” The stare of ongoing, generalized anxiety.
