It was hard to know where to go from here. He loved Park. So much. But the hurt he felt from being lied to had given him, if not clarity, at least a reason to step back and really look at what they were doing. Helena had been right. Park clearly wasn’t okay. If Cooper were an armchair psychologist, he’d guess the early abandonment Park had experienced by his parents paired with Joe’s extremely conditional love had shaped him into someone who’d do anything, be anyone, for love. That sounded romantic. It wasn’t.
