"How are you?" Casey asked.
"Still the same old Chris," I smiled.
"Still the same old Chris hating the world?" she said as she went closer to me.
"Hmm. A little less?"
She laughed. "I know. Because I'm now here."
Yes, because she's now back. Having Casey by my side feels so great that I could almost own the world. I looked at her face, but she was looking away. I wanted to ask so many things about her. Is she doing fine in the States? What happened to his old suitor that she told me? Did she finally reject him? And does she ever love me too?
"So... How are you?" I asked.
"Still the same old Casey. You know what, I've gained a lot of guy friends in the university. But don't worry, they know about you," grinning her pretty face.
I was surprised. "About me? Like what?"
"Seriously?"
Totally clueless. I was eager to hear her answer.
"Like I have a best friend way back home in Seoul and no one will ever, ever replace him duhh!"
Oh yes, that was the answer. What was I thinking? Thinking that she might have introduced me to her friends as her boyfriend? Huh! I slightly felt embarrassed but I smiled to cover it. We moved to a wooden bench and continued our conversation. I once more felt at ease with her but deep inside I felt tensed; looking for a right timing to tell her.
"Chris, I have something to say."
She looked serious as her eyes were intently focusing through mine. I thought I was the only who have something to say. I was about to tell her, but it's okay. I'll go after her. "What is it?
"I'm leaving."
