@OlderSometimesWiser thank you so much.

@MyMonstersAreReal I think he's been waiting for her to say that to him for a while now.

@AngelUnforgiven yes he's been waiting for this moment for a long time. So have I. I am glad that she is getting comfortable with him and is trusting him and opening up to him. I know she's still struggles for what her mother did and that's why she's closed off too new people. But I think she's learning that Joel isn't going anywhere and how much he cares about her and the rest of us.
