"So that was Sydney University today. How'd you like it?"

"It was nice. Clean. And had a pretty decent campus."

"But?"

"But, it's so close to home."

"I thought you wanted to be close to home?"

"I do. I really do. That's the bad thing, though, because being close to home is safe and secure and safe and secure means falling back into old habits. It means I can just run back when I get too scared. And I don't want to do that."

"I see. I'm guessing Sydney is a no go then?"

"I mean, if you like it then I can make a comprise because I want-"

"I will to anywhere you want to go, Ashton."

"Yeah, but I want you to do what you want too."

"What I want is to be with you."

"God, you're so damn cheesy."

"You like it."

"That I do."

"Okay, so how about this: next weekend we'll take a weekend trip up to Melbourne and see the university. Since we have a half day Friday, we can leave straight from school. Sound good?"

"How will we pay for the hotel?"

"I have a little extra pocket money from doing over time at work."

"Oh, Calum, no. I can't make you do that."

"You're not making me; I'm choosing to do this."

"I'll pitch in some money too, okay? So that way I don't feel so guilty."

"That's fine. In fact, why not invite Mike and Luke too so we can split the trip with them?"

"Think they'd want to come?"

"A weekend away from this hellhole? Of course. Bet they say yes before I even end my sentence."

"You're on."

"Where are you going?"

"To see if you're gonna win this bet or not."
