jem

you sit in a kitchen with someone. you smoke cigarettes and drink tea. he tells you about this girl. tells you that he's decided to fly interstate and see her - because he needs to know. she is cute. she is a photographer. she makes him smile in a way you dont think you've ever seen before.

then he texts you - after he's been MIA for three weeks - and he tells you he's moving to freemantle. at first you're stunned and need to know why. a second later, you smile the way he did - that night in the kitchen - because there is no better reason to lose a friend.
