Owen feels a mix of relief and panic at Garrett's reaction. It was the last thing on his mind to make him feel bad with his offer, but it looks like that's exactly what he did.

"Don't-- don't apologize, it's not your fault. It's that damn pollen," he says. "And I know I don't owe you anything. Look... this thing isn't just gonna wear itself off, is it? It's just gonna eat away at you until it forces you to really hurt someone."
Owen presses his lips in, almost shy about admitting this. "I've only ever done it with one guy. That's just... that's it. I liked it, but I'm just still... a little nervous about it. Okay?"
