Look, I was just super into whatever was happening here and Ben Foster being sad and smitten despite the fact that she shot him so let's roll with that
Warning: it's 3 am and this is probably terrible because I never share or even finish something but my emotions and a sugar overload pushed me to this.
1/2
It started when Ruth came by his place after he was finally discharged from the hospital. The lack of eye contact isn't what made it obvious to Patrick - she was never good at lying.
When Patrick asked her why she was there and she stared off, he was reminded of the time when they were just kids and Bob Muldoon took the blame for a pack of gum Ruth had stolen. Bob was always covering for her. He was always there for her until he wasn't. Patrick knew she didn't need anyone's help, but he also knew that she would have made many more stupid decisions if she didn't have someone looking out for her. Whether it was Skeritt or Bob or even Freddy, someone always had her back

I enjoyed that immensely! You nailed the conflicting emotions and I liked that Patrick knew that she'd never really be able to let Bob go and accepted that as a basic fact of her being.
I just want to roll around in my emotions for these two for the entirety of 2014.
I'm actually writing something serious and coherent now but I think I could watch the film 100 more times and still be completely enamored by the way Patrick is around her.
