During the discussions, the issue of social settings came up. As noted by The U.S. Sun, Ray admitted, “I am so scared in social, you gotta go to a Christmas party or here is an event, I am just petrified because I am not good at it. I know I am not.”

Ray continued that, “I like to try things I might be successful at and I know I am not successful at that. I just get nervous.” Coben also noted that he first met Ray at a party, adding that he was the one to introduce himself to her.

At one point, Ray began to share her love of chores, noting, “I like to help carry in the wood.” However, she acknowledged, “I had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks so I haven’t been doing that in a while.”

In a later episode, Ray shared the sentiment that, “I’ve gotten worse as I’ve gotten older, because I feel like time might be shorter, and I want my time to be more, every minute of it.” In another episode, she noted how much her dogs help her. As she shared, “For me, if I have the worst day, or sick as a dog, the things that make me feel best, go home, climb into bed with a blanket with my dog!”
