Ellis made sure that their stops had been sweet and as close to the dreams that kept him sane during the stay at the Crossing. There's always the chance that they could be captured or worse: Abigail wouldn't be safe and happy.

He remembered the nightmares she had back then and he's quick to comfort her, "No one's here, sweetheart...just me an' birds. Abby, focus on me." The mechanic was no expert in comforting someone so scared of the past, he did want to help her.

"Honey, talk to me...who did you see?" What DID Ellis know about Abigail Hobbs? Absolutely nothing and yet he still cared about her.
