Someone to listen, and someone to be honest with him. Even though it terrifies him from all directions: having friends. Listening to advice. Someone being honest with him.
The possibility that he could do everything 'right' and still lose Alexandrie.

Abby brushes against his arm breaks him out of his spiraling thoughts, and so he takes his hand out of his pocket, wrapping his arm around both of her broad shoulders, giving her a squeeze.

It helps to be tall.
"Thanks, Abby; you're a good friend."
