“What time is it?” I really don’t want to tell her, because I know it is fifteen minutes past the time she said she was going to leave.
“Two o’clock.” I lie.
“What?” She checks her own watch in disbelief and finds that it is actually quarter to four. “I have to get going.” I sigh. This sucks. “It was very nice meeting you Danielle.”
“You too Spencer. Good luck at Princeton!” She turns to me knowing I would not be accompanying her to the room. “I’ll see you in the room?”
“Yeah. I’m gonna walk her to her car, then I’ll be up.” Danielle turns toward our dorm and Spencer and I turn towards the parking lot, walking slowly.
“Oh and Spencer.” We stop and turn to look at her holding open the door to the building. “Send me a postcard from Jersey!” She laughs.
“I will!” With that Danielle disappears into the door and we proceed to her car. “I’m sure you two will get along just fine!”
“Yeah if nothing else, we could just sit around, thinking of ways to torture you!” She shakes her head laughing. Her car is getting closer, no matter how slowly I try to walk. I realize that I am not ready to let her go. “Are you sure you have to leave so soon?”
“I promised my dad I would be home for dinner and I still have some packing to do. And on top of that I had to choose the seven a.m. flight.” We reach her car and she searches her bag for her keys. Having found them she looks up at me. I can’t formulate words. How do you let go of someone that you have seen nearly every day for the last three years? “Make sure you stay out of trouble.” She is trying to be strong for the both of us; I smile at her.
“I will.” The tears are back and streaming down my face. “Call me when you get there.”
“I will.” We stand awkwardly waiting for the other to say or do something. “Come here.” She holds her arms open and I take the step to her and melt into the hug. We are holding on so tightly that breathing becomes an issue. I pull away, but keep my arms around her.
“Good luck.” I drop my arms completely, as she takes a step to her car and unlocks the door.
“You too.” This is really depressing. I grab the car door and open it so she can get in. She sits in the driver’s seat and turns on the car. Unrolling the window, I close the door, leaning my hands on the window ledge. “You know how to reach me. Four a.m. doesn’t matter. Don’t be a stranger.”
“That goes double for you!” She puts her hand on one of mine and I sandwich it with my other.
“Bye Ash.”
“Bye Spence.” She puts the car in drive and I release her hand. She takes one last look at me and pulls out of the spot. I watch her taillights fade into the distance and then eventually disappear out of the parking lot. I sigh deeply and begin walking back to my room.

As a university employee who runs a Student Centre, I LOVED that chapter.. even if the one I’m in is not the same thing you’re referring to. Ah, what to say? I just really love your writing style. I’m always so engaged by your writing! AWESOME!
