She said she wanted to see him to have some kind of “closure,” and I guess she was lucky enough to get it
because Craig was nice enough to tell her that she was right to break up with him.
And that she was a special person. And that he was sorry and wished her well. It’s strange the times people choose to be generous.
The best part was that Sam said she didn’t ask him about the girls he might be dating even though she wanted to know.
She wasn’t bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time.
On the night before she left, we were all there at Sam and Patrick’s house.
Bob, Alice, Mary Elizabeth (without Peter), and I. We just sat on the rug in the “games” room, remembering things.
Remember the show where Patrick did this… or remember when Bob did this… or Charlie… or Mary Elizabeth… or Alice… or Sam…
The inside jokes weren’t jokes anymore. They had become stories.
Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia.
After a while, Mary Elizabeth and Bob and Alice left, saying they would be back in the morning to see Sam off.
So, it was just me, Patrick, and Sam. Just sitting there. Not saying much. Until we started our own remember when.
