Petal knows Hayden has a lot on his mind.
--------------------------------
"Hey, you okay?" Petal asks, finishing her food.
"Ya, I just...."
"Got a lot on the brain?"
"Ya." He says sighing, "I'm actually angry and rather upset about Carla being with Joey now."
"I could tell."
"Am I that easy to read?" He asks.
"I'm a good reader of people, I also like you you know."
"Ya....I feel stupid but part of me can't not love the pain."
"You're just torturing yourself." She explains, reaching out to touch his hand.
He inhales sharply, feeling her soft skin on his.
"You shouldn't."
"I know but I do....I always have."
"I wanna help you do that less." She says, smiling warmly.
"I appreciate it but I also don't want you to feel like I'm using you to get through this."
She pauses a moment, "I know but sometimes you can't get over somebody until you find someone else."
"As long as you don't mind how broken I am and how I need to work on me."
"Nobody comes complete."
