The bottle in his bag isn't meant for her. It isn't meant for anyone in particular, though it's nestled next to a white bag of anise seed, which he plans on giving to Spencer. The bottle he had intended on leaving at Spencer's, too, just to have, just in case. It's a painkiller and a calming agent all mixed into one with some healing properties as well, but the only way to give it to Emily without it seeming suspicious is to admit that he's the one who made it.

"I'm sorry," he says gently. He feels guilty for having been away, though he knows better than most that sometimes there's simply nothing to be done. At the same time he knows Spencer would have rather been here, would have rather known something had happened to her and he wishes the same. He strokes her hair gently and wishes there was something more he could do than just offers her a bottle of something he's made, something that will only bring about more questions.
