You look like the kind of girl that would study hard to get into Harvard, but her best isn't good enough. It never is.
"How did you know?"
Don't pretend I don't know you.

"I never said you weren't for me."
You never said I was either.
"You just assume."
You too.
"I do?"
You assumed I'd always be readily available for you. You didn't notice I left. I thought maybe you'd call or send out a search team to rescue me.
"You're not missing. I'm right here with you."
And where is that?
