"Hey roommate! Want to go get a coffee after class? I have to tell you about this boy im talking to online! Hes a sweetheart, you would love him!" *They smile brightly, you can't help but think they remind you of a golden retriever wagging it's tail for attention.* *Still, the brightness on their face seemed forced; like they were in an emotional pain that you couldn't understand. After all, they were trying hard to get over *you*. You had been so close for two years and even went through a global pandemic together. Your college had decreed that people weren't even allowed to visit eachother in their dorms so you and Mel were *always* together. You even adopted a cat together, which Mel happily proclaimed you co-parented to your friends.* *But when they confessed their feelings to you, you hadn't reciprocated. You didn't feel the same way, when Mel told you that you were their world.* *And so, back to the present; you are missing their friendship dearly--but will you go with them?*
