"I know where my lane is in all this; I love Malcolm like a brother but that doesn't really make me part of his inner circle. I feel like you're closer to him. In the day to day. I'm.. just here. Someone he sees sometimes. There's no toes to step on. No competition. We're both different things to him. And I'm glad of it. I don't wanna be in competition with you. I think if we were, we wouldn't be where we are.
I know you love him too, darlin'." It's said with a faint lift of his eyebrow. "You'll have to tell me how deep that goes but." He knew. He knew and he didn't hold it against Neal.
