Summary
With Crystal sound asleep in the back seat, Randy gets a chance to find out more about Myleigh's past, including her difficulties at home in Franklin and we hear of her short high school valedictory speech. We also learn of the start of her friendship with Crystal and the gift of Blue Beauty from her great-uncle.
As their discussion wanders, the subject includes the relationship between Randy and Crystal and between Randy and Myleigh. Understanding her need for friendship, he has her pull over and puts his arm around her. "I think you need to feel cared for, and need to feel wanted. I think you need to feel that you can lean on a friend because he's a friend. In fact, I think you need a cuddle. I'm offering, and I'm not asking more than that. Now, slide over here, and let me put my arm around you."
