In a few months, she’d be gone, and what would happen to Natalie then?
Ideally, they continue communicating and have a relationship.
in reality Taylor doesn't have time for a relationship but also has feelings for Natalie. But Taylor doesn't want to hurt Natalie's feelings so she's gonna continue pushing the point of her lack of time for a relationship. I predict that will be or will be part of the main reason they push away from eachother later on in the story
