“You just gave up, Grey.” “I didn’t give up. It was harder than I thought, for sure. But I couldn’t be that guy. Groveling to you every day about how I can’t stand not being able to kiss you or touch you or fall asleep next to you. Ryan, you know how I am. I couldn’t ask you to come back and be with me. You would have resented me. You would’ve hated me—which you do anyway, but that’s beside the point. You worked so hard, and that was something you needed to do for yourself. I know how hard engineering is and you graduated with honors.”
