Are you there?

I want to be with you.

When Daniel and Joey arrived at the coffee shop Daniel helped Joey out of the car and they headed in.

They found a table after they ordered and had a seat.

They began to talk about their lives, dreams, and hopes for the future.

Daniel asked many questions that Joey was hesitant to answer. Like....

How is your family?

Have you always lived alone?

How was your childhood?

Joey answered all of them. Each time he answered one he would start to remember his past. He had to stop a few times to not cry.

Daniel put his hand on Joey's shoulder.

When Joey looked into Daniels eyes he wanted to melt.

Daniel had so much sympathy and affection towards Joey.

Joey had never felt so loved and cared for.

All at once Joey's mouth took over instead of his brain.

He blurted out.

"I wanna be with you!"

Daniel was shocked at first but smiled. He wanted to be with Joey too.

Daniel got up and lead Joey to the car:

Joey thought,

"This is it. I shouldn't have said anything. He's taking me home. I freaked him out!"

Daniel and Joey sat in silence as Daniel drove.

But he wasn't driving Joey home.......
