she went to school in la fall of '07, so they would've started to lose contact a little bit that year outside of her coming up for the holidays. and then 2008 since she wasn't in the area, she likely didn't have any idea of all of his hardships, so that makes a lot of sense they'd completely lose contact. she was in nyc in 2014, is that where he moved to? but yes, definitely, she would have loved to hear from him when he was ready and told him it was a mutual fall out with her own apology.
