Joe tried hard to forget the sour ending to his recent relationship and tried even harder not to talk about it. It would be one thing if they ended on good terms and were dandy little friends, but that seemed to be the complete opposite. Joe had great respect for the man until he reacted the way he did. Honesty was very important to Josiah, when it came to something as serious as loving another person he wasn't about to lie to protect someones feelings. Sometimes pain and realization are a package deal. Too many people are unhappy because they're with someone they don't love and Joe wasn't about to be one of those statistics. He did feel bad for Shan, considering it's not her drama, but it's nothing he wanted to discuss at the moment.
Pushing his lips together, he raised his eye brows towards Shan and gave her a look of avoidance.
