Nerissa & Q

Moving

"Favorite Barista with those dimples! I would love my usual and a chat with you!"

❝You seem oddly happy.❞

"Well, can I tell you why I'm oddly happy?"

❝Sure, go for it.❞

"I have three reasons. One, I have been going on dates with this great girl, I think you know her. Two, that girl is you and I'm glad it's you. Last, but not least three, my parents got a new job in New York!"

❝Awe, Q, that's really adorable of you...wait. What did you say about New York?❞

"Yeah...what about it?"

❝We live in California...❞

"What do you mean...oh."

❝Yeah, oh.❞

"Nerissa..."

❝We'll make it work. We can see each other before you leave. When do you leave?❞

"In two weeks, but do you really think we can try long distance?"

❝We talked just over the phone for almost a month. I think we can handle this...don't you?❞

"Um...well..."

❝...❞

"I just, I don't know if that can work. Yes, we were just on the phone for a while, but this is different. We aren't friends anymore. We are more than that and we'll want to see each other, but we won't be able too."

❝What are you saying?❞

"...I'm not saying anything. I just think that we should really think about what could happen."

❝Don't you believe that we can make this work?❞

"..."

❝Q?❞

"..."

❝Quentin?❞

"...I'll talk to you later."

❝No. We have to talk about this.❞

"I rather not."

❝Will you call tomorrow?❞

"I don't think so. I need to think."

❝...Okay.❞

"Bye."

❝Goodbye.❞

"Hey Nessie, how's it...are you crying? Don't you dare try and hide your sniffles I hear that."

❝Yes, I am...sorry, am I bothering you Oliver?❞

"Of course not. Now, care to tell me why you sound like Quentin fucked up?"

❝He's moving to New York.❞

"I'm sorry, but you guys will make it work."

❝He doesn't seem to think so.❞

"I will kick his ass if he breaks your heart."

❝No, no! Please don't! I just...I'm a little sad right now. What if he doesn't want to do this anymore?❞

"Nessie. Listen. Anyone would be lucky to have you as their girlfriend or even just in their life. If he doesn't think long distance will work then he's an idiot for not even trying."

❝Thank you...❞

"Plus, I'll always be here...with you."

❝Oliver?❞

"Yes?"

❝Always?❞

"Always."
