They would, like...be all embarrassed? But never Jacob. He always asked my opinion on...everything. He asked if I wanted to...come along to dinner before his hockey games. He'd give me rides everywhere. He let me talk about...whatever I wanted. And...and even though he'd never laugh, even though he was always so serious...

He was...my whole world.
