Russell may not know Lee all that well, but what he's learned of the guy he really does like. He seems to care about Molly a lot and Russell doesn't imagine that he'll hurt her and that counts for a hell of a lot where he's concerned.

"Yeah, he seems like a pretty trustworthy guy," he agrees, giving her a gentle nudge with his elbow and a grin. "I mean, hell, if you and Katie forgave me for... for all that shit, then I figure Lee deserves some trust when it comes to someone who's not even here, right?" He doesn't talk about it much, all that happened when he was sick, but sometimes he needs to bring it up. Sometimes he needs to remind himself to always be careful.
