Re: Alexis/Reid
"You have me, and I'll help you figure things out when you can't and you can help me with... a lot of things," she answered, knowing that it showed how much she admired him, but she couldn't help. The man was brilliant.
Alexis chuckled. "It does. You're a natural at everything. I haven't seen you doing anything less than exceptionally."
She laughed a little, although it wasn't a happy sound. "No, I won't, at least the boyfriend. I was going to school with him, because we knew that long distance relationships don't work. In fact, the numbers said that close to 85% for couples our age split up when one goes to college. I checked. Imagine what the rate would be for when your girl friend disappears and you don't know if you'll ever see her again."
