Damon gave Joey a reassuring pat on the back, chuckling to himself.
He'd thought it was something serious… well, it is, but not in the way he'd expected.
This was one mess he didn't feel the need to dive into headfirst, though he'd help however he could.
"You should talk it out," Damon advised. "I don't think he's necessarily mad at you guys for… whatever you're doing. Since he's your friend, maybe tell him how you actually feel about his sister."
Damon couldn't help but smile, a bit amused at himself.
'Since when am I the one giving relationship advice?'
Joey gave a skeptical look. "But we're not children."
"Then don't act like one," Damon replied smoothly. "Just talk to him, explain things. He probably doesn't know you're serious. And, let's be real, you're not exactly known for lasting relationships. So just be honest."
