He doesn't know if it would have been possible, not when the only woman Finch ever would have wanted was Grace and when she believed he was dead, but John, in his strange way, is an optimist. If there's a way for Grave and Finch to have found each other again, he likes to think he would have done anything to help make that happen for them.

"Did he ever tell you about Grace?" he asks.
