[ well that makes two of them, so she can't even scold him for thinking that way. ]
... there's a lot I wanted back home, too, that I knew I'd never get. [ she laughs a little, like she thinks this is stupid to think about in comparison to yves' everything. ] When my school's guidance counselor told me I wouldn't be able to even consider applying to the college I wanted to, I think I nearly cried because I'd deluded myself into thinking the impossible things I wanted were possible. There are some things you never have, and you know you'll never have, and you just accept them. Like a cell phone. Or money. Or a father. Or true love. You accept what you can get, because it's what's available and it's easier not to dwell on what you can't have because when you think about it, it consumes you.
And now being here and being told you might be able to have those things feels just as impossible because you've never had it before. [ she tilts her head to look at him a little. ] Something like that?
