Carl sighed when Sam spoke. "It is upsetting. I started to watch it to make sure everyone was okay. But... when things happen to my family or any of the other people in my group, and I can't do anything about it..." He sighed once more, and took a sip from his milkshake.
"Maybe we can go bowling or something on Sunday nights instead of watching the show. The show doesn't come back until February so at least that's a plus, right?" He took another sip from his milkshake, and peered across the table at Sam. "How did you get so good at this, Sam?"
He found that he really liked Sam, and found that the man was rather good at helping with his issues. He would like to think that he'd be just as good as Sam at helping people with their issues. Eventually.
