Aww. What a sweet guy Joseph is. Concerned about hurting his friend, even unintentionally. With this chapter I see Brenda in a slightly more sympathetic light...(but not much). I mean, she put everything on the line, emotion-wise, for Joe...and got told they needed "a break". Ouch.
Author's response
I'm glad Brenda doesn't (just) come off as a cold-hearted bitch. Especially since if she was, what would that say about Carl being somewhat in love with her? ;)
Thanks for another wonderful review!
