"I know that," Joey admitted, "and part of me was convinced that was the reason I didn't agree to it, but it wasn't. I was too far gone to think like that. If he had given me some other kind of deal I would have taken it in an instant. I was already so broken. I just...couldn't give him that. I couldn't give him you."
"I'm so sorry," Patrick said, bursting into tears. "Joey, I'm sorry!"
"Patrick, it's not your fault. And I didn't do it for you benefit, I did it for mine. My life, despite current circumstances, has been better since you came in to it." He didn't say those words with a lot of feeling, but it was clear he meant them.
