It seemed fairly obvious to Jordan that Chase was headed for a bit of trouble with Maia. If he didn't believe in marriage, and Maia didn't want to have children unless they were married... well, clearly someone would have to give. And based on what he knew of Maia, he had a feeling it wouldn't be her.
But he kept quiet on that. He was pretty sure Chase was aware of the problem, and his commenting on it was not likely to help at this point. It was sometimes Chase and Maia would have to deal with on their own.
"It's hard to explain," he said. "It's just... when we were kids, I pursued her. I was there whenever she needed someone to lean on, or talk to, or anything... But now something's bothering her and she won't tell me what it is... she keeps pulling away from me, and I'm back to chasing after her."

Chase shrugged. He really wasn't good at the therapy stuff, and he wondered if Caroline would be willing to do a couples session with Jordan and Dr Richmond. It would probably do wonders for them both.
But he didn't suggest this. "I guess it says a lot that you at least know what the problem is, that there's something she's not telling you." This screamed 'affair' to him, but he really hoped, for Jordan's sake, that this was not the case. Jordan was too good of a guy, and he was hopelessly devoted to Caroline. "Have you just outright confronted her about it?"

Jordan frowned and tried to think if he'd ever really come straight out and asked her what was going on. It was strange, now that he thought about it, because he'd always been good at getting her to tell him what was bothering her, back when they were in school together.
Back then, most of her troubles had seemed simpler. He was removed from the problems and could see them from a neutral perspective. But now, it seemed like her problems were all about him... and it just seemed harder to ask what it was. He'd have to grow a thicker skin where she was concerned, but he'd never been good at that. She had always been his greatest weakness.
"I guess not," he admitted. "It's just... it's weird. It's like it's getting harder to communicate or something. We'll be talking and all of a sudden, I can just feel her pulling away."
He sighed and began to rub his head. "I'm sorry to dump all of this on you. Maybe I should consider couples therapy or something, but I'm not sure Caroline would go for it."

Chase was quick to dismiss Jordan's apology. He may not have been good at all the psychological stuff, but he tried. Or he liked to try. He wanted to help Jordan... if there was anyone in this hospital who deserved to be happy, it was Jordan and Kieran. Neither one of them were all that happy right now.
"I don't know... I'm definitely not the expert at this, and I think couples therapy would be a great idea for you both. But if she won't go for that... do you have a mutual friend you can go to? Just casually, so it doesn't seem like it's a self help session? Or just sit her down, ask her what's going on. She probably doesn't realize what she's doing, or how obvious it is to you."
