Leila moved to NYC about 6 months after The Incident. So in October. But she didn't start school until January. So she woulda needed help finding a room to rent/couch to surf on and a place to work so she could actually pay rent. Although her parents might have helped also.
And kdjfhdfh, oh man, I so looove the idea of a lot of unanswered texts. I could so see her not responding immediately. Or...for a day or two. But I'm good with either saying she sucked it up and went to see him, or that he got worried and decided to check on her. Whichever you think would work best!
And if we do an anniversary thing, it'd probably have to be the first anniversary. I did have her just...hibernating for an entire week in her apartment for the 2nd anniversary. And this year, well...they'll all be together anyway. (Or will they? Dun, dun, dunnnn....)
