That's right. The only one he cares about is Joan.
“I don't want to see you. Please leave,” Della snapped.
If he hadn't brought Joan up, she would still be willing to continue the conversation.
“I've seen the video. Joan was behaving impulsively then. So, I hope that you can forgive her,” Larry pleaded.
Forgive her?lmpossible! Della sneered with her eyes filled with contempt.
Indeed, Larry doesn't know the truth behind the video yet.
“Get Joan to apologize to me!” Della screamed as rage filled her eyes.
Although Joan was involved in having her warded, she was still the root cause of her predicament.
After Joan, Dustin, and Abelyn had left the hut that night, Della stayed back and struggled with the man. Somehow by accident, she hit her head on the wall and ended up the way she was.
Hence, it wasn't her original intention to blame Joan for hurting her as she hadn't expected such an accident to occur. There was someone manipulating the events behind the scenes.
“Della, when you're feeling better....”
“No!” Suddenly, she interrupted Larry with a scowl.
When he saw how riled up she was, Larry stop talking mid-sentence.
“Larry, tell me, what is it about Joan that makes you love her?” Della questioned in indignance.
What is it about her that I love? Squinting his eyes, Larry looked out the window at the pitch-black sky and fell into deep thought.
I love everything about her. Her smile, cries, foolishness, innocence, naivety, kindness...
Subconsciously, Larry broke out into a smile.
