Charlie is observing Emma who offered to get more food items for the two of them. He is not in the wheelchair, but she still treats him as a disabled.
Charlie remembered how earlier that week Sarah reminded him that he should tell Emma how he feels.
He came up with a plan to start taking Emma out for meals, with an addition of flowers and occasional gifts. Nothing too expensive because he does not want to scare her off, but to start with something small… a keychain, maybe. And then to work his way up.
But all his plans got out of order when his uncle, Jarred, told him that it's time for Charlie to go back to work and into the circle as well.
