"Are you two ready for college?"

We're prepping ourselves.

"Are you in the same courses?"

Yes.

"That's great. You would be together all the time."

Not really. Depends on the schedule.

"Aren't you scared?"

Scared of what?

"Separation."

What are you trying to say?

"Distance can do something, you know."

Like break a relationship?

"Things like that."

There's nothing we can do about it.

"What if you guys split?"

Then we split.

"That easily?"

Of course, there would be months of letting go and crying, but we'll both be okay.

"You sound so sure."

That's because I am.

"Why?"

I just kind of am.

"You've got such confidence."

If there's one thing I believe in, I believe in us.

"He really must be something."

Trust me, he is.

"Wouldn't it be painful seeing him with someone else, if you two ever split?"

It would break my heart if it wasn't broken enough.

"It would really hurt a lot, wouldn't it?"

It would. But it's not like I haven't experience loss, so I'll be okay.

"What about him?"

What about him?

"Will he feel the same thing?"

He's stronger so he'll probably do better.
