If he could give her more than silence he would. Right now he'd rather just... not. He didn't feel like speaking or doing much at all. In fact he'd let the possibility of him walking out right now pass his mind but he knew better than that. Dealing with things, especially things like this, was never easy for Nate so escape always seemed like a good option, but practical? No, not really. Luckily he knew this.
Can you tell that he thinks this sucks?
"Fucking hell," he whispered under his breath, running a hand down his face as he stared down at the floor in front of him. He didn't know why but he could barely bring himself to look at her for more than a couple of seconds. Christmas. She'd be leaving in August, gone for September, October, November and most of December and then gone until the following Christmas? That was complete bullshit. There would be a whole seven to eight months of little to nothing and how was he supposed to take this?! August wasn't all that far away. Shit.
"Guess we'll have to post pone those moving out plans," he said after a few more moments of silence. This. Sucked. "Will it be possible to visit?" It was a fair enough question. She'd be busy and exhausted and on the move. If it wasn't, well... that wouldn't be good.
