We've been having a lot of coffee together. I'm sure having it in the university and outside of it already counts.
[But if she's saying that, she realizes that it sounds contrite, so she adds.]
I'm sure I can make the time. My parents have been asking me to visit them and I've been putting it off. I'll probably be helping them sort out some business affairs and such.
[Some places can't clean themselves y'know]
Additionally, Berna will find a way to whisk us to a prime holiday vacation destination. Don't be surprised if that gets in your way.
[He's nothing if not detail-oriented— he seems to remember most things, in fact.]
It would be nice to have the opportunity to check in, at least. Should time allow, we each ought to be able to ensure that the other isn't working their entire break away regardless.
[It does seem exactly the sort of thing they both would do. He winks mischievously, perhaps against his better judgment.]
It sounds like you've plenty lined up to keep you busy, however. Holidays and family do tend to go hand-in-hand, and I'm certain Berna will ensure you have a splendid getaway. She always seems very invested in your best interests.
[She tries and only partially succeeds at holding back a smile at that wink of his. He shouldn't try being a scoundrel because it makes it that much harder to stay neutral.]
Berna's just overpowering in all aspects. I can rarely win against her.
[They stop at a corner streetlamp where Oren's car is slowly approaching.]
... Well, it's time to go.
[There's not much else to be said. They'll see each other tomorrow, let their minds be taken over by academic responsibilities and vigor. The fallout or standstill from Dr. Raphael's interference will be dealt with. Maybe they won't even have enough room to even think about this evening and that moment they had between them.
Maybe.
She opens the door for Oren's car and steps in, shutting it behind her. Amelia does roll down the window and give Gale a wave before she disappears down the road.
Being separated shouldn't leave a such hollow atmosphere, but in the quietness of the car and Oren's own silence, Amelia thinks that this may be too much of a good thing.
But for once it doesn't weigh on her as it used to.]
