Karli was scrolling through Facebook as she and Cody lazily half watched a movie snuggled up on the couch when she told him about Alex and Claire. Then he got Sarah's text less than five minutes later.
He was glad things worked out for his friend but also felt a growing sense of dread that his girlfriend might get wedding thoughts in her head because of this. It had been hard enough getting to the point that he was a semi-decent boyfriend.
When he first met Steve Wagner in his office he was asked why he was there and responded that it was because someone who loved him wanted him to 'get better', whatever that meant. In return he was told that he wouldn't make any progress until he was there for himself and asked what he wanted.
