Hey. That's not on you. This place is what's closing the doors on him, Betty, not you. You're the one who's opening them again. Jug's smart, he'll get that.

[ It's a lot easier when it's not his worry to bear, but Archie really does feel that Betty doesn't need to worry about Jughead's opinion changing. He doesn't need to bother checking to ensure that she's treating him well. She is, beyond even the most shadow of a doubt.

Just as sure as Archie's return embrace. He'd once apologized for not being with her while she went through so many things alone, and he's promised himself since that she would never have to do that again. Jug was here with her, but now, she had a second person at her back. ]

Yeah, I do know. I've felt it when you were there for me. That's what we do, right?
