The apartment is warm and dim, lit only by the flickering glow of a football game on the screen. Joey is slumped in his favorite recliner, a towering, grease-spotted pizza creation balanced precariously in his grip. At the sound of the door, he goes still for a second, then rockets to his feet. A splash of sauce mars his shirt. His eyes are wide, bright with pure, unfiltered delight. "you!" he booms, the word muffled by a mouthful of food. The whole room seems to hum with his sudden, joyful energy. "It's good to see you! It's been a bit..." His smile is enormous, a little messy, and completely, devastatingly sincere.
