Hey

1:23 - Joe:
Hi

1:24 - Amber:
Can I ask you something, but something serious?

1:27 - Joe:
Of course, are you ok?

1:32 - Amber:
Yes- sort of..

Look so Harvey asked me to go on a date with him, and I didn't know what to say because we are, well, US and we are damn complicated. I didn't want to upset you if I said yes and didn't tell you or if I said yes at all really.
I'm basically asking you if you're ok with it and if you aren't then I can say no

1:39 - Joe:
Amber; I love you and usually that would mean I'd be the guy that says you can't say yes and that you can't even see him again but I can't be that guy because I'm not there for you. I have my job, my life, this life which is so hard to balance and where do my personal and my work lives separate? They don't. So I'm going to be the one who says I love you, so say yes, because I want you to be happy, and please never feel guilty for me again because I want what you want always, ok? x

1:41 - Amber:
I love you too Joe, I just didn't want to have to hide anything from you or- thank you x

1:42 - Joe:
Do you really like him?

1:43 - Amber:
I'm sorry Joe, but I do

1:44 - Joe:
Stop apologising, it's not a bad thing, I just don't want what happened to you and Sam to repeat itself, I'll back away if you want so he doesn't get the wrong idea

1:48 - Amber:
Joe don't you dare, I need you.
And he knows everything about you, he knows if he ever said a bad word about you then he's fucked

1:50 - Joe:
Still, I'd hate to make you feel awkward again and remember, anything happens, I'm here, as always x

1:55 - Amber:
I know, I'll remember that xxx

1:56 - Joe:
So go say yes before it's too late :)

1:58 - Amber:
