--
"You could go visit her, you know."

"But she isn't here. Couldn't you talk to me? Who am I going to tell?"

"Ooh, creative."

"It's not as if much goes on around here.'

"Suuure."
--
"But, gosh, she doesn't know anyone here. She must be really bored."
--
"I like seeing what happens when I help someone. It makes me feel like I have some sort of purpose."

"Yay!" She reaches to grab his arm and drag him towards the house.
---
"It's okay." He fidgets and looks at his feet.

"Go and see her. Or bring her out here."

He smiles. "It's not like that, exactly."

"This will be nice!"
---
"Really? You wouldn't mind if she came here again?"

"Sounds extravagant."
--
"No, I'll just stay out of her way."

"You can tell me anything. I won't tell a soul." He flips idly through the book.

"Mmmhmmm."

"If you want to leave while she's here, you'll get me though, right?"

"Sure, sure."

"You like things like that. That's all it meant."
--
She nods.
