"... Yeah. In this case, it did." Admitting to your face that I almost killed one of your closest friends, I mean? "I'm going to try harder to not hold things in, and stop feeling so awkward around... everyone."

Jennifer had been about to say "you", but she knew that would have just made things even worse.

"And you know I'll help you in any way I can."

He's still just going to sit here, arm around Jennifer's shoulders, until she moves.

"Admitting it is the first step."

Hesitantly, Jennifer finally pulled her friend into a hug, feeling that said more than anything she could have spoken aloud.

And Carson returns it, holding the hug as long as Jennifer wants to.
