"Okay Em. I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, you just go on being the great friend that you are, okay? He'll come around. Josie is every bit as stubborn as Evan says, if not more so. He'll come out of his room and be back on his feet soon." At least, Calvin really hoped he would. As stubborn as Josie was, Jacen's fixations with things were probably just as powerful, if not more so. But hopefully everything would work.
It was strange for Calvin to have someone who wasn't Katie touching him so intimately, but it was Emily, so he didn't object. "Yes... it's not all bad, I guess. Before I asked Katie out I had a vision of my first kiss with her. Or at least... of a kiss with her. So I knew that she'd say yes. Visions like that have been few and far between, though. But you're right. There's always a bright side, I guess." He smiled weakly.
