Joey calls Carla over and he just wraps his arms around her, not saying a word.
---------------------------------------------
"Uh....what's this for?" She asks, letting out a little warm laugh.
"Just because....."
"Really?" She lifts a brow, not feeling convinced.
"Okay okay." Joey pulls from her, "let's sit shall we?"
They take a seat on the couch, sitting facing one another.
"So?"
"Well I had struggled a lot with women in my life."
"I know, I heard and I'm sorry."
"I was going to say it's alright but it fucks me up."
"It's understandable." Carla says, resting her hand on his knee.
He inhales sharply, "so I uh, have struggled to get close to people but I found I enjoy being there for you, when I know you need me."
"Well Joey see....that's the thing....."
"What is?" He asked, getting nervous.
"I'm worried I shouldn't depend on anybody."
"Why not? There's no harm in needing help."
"There isn't?"
"No, which I just learned myself."
"Well...."
"Carla, to be honest you're the only female since Hannah that I have felt I've trusted."
"I'm thrilled to hear that." Her face lit up, with an ear to ear smile.
"It'll take me time to warm up but I'll get there."
"Take your time."
