"it was always nice having classes with you, eloise. i didn't have many conversations about literature with any of my friends back home. it was a nice change."

"are my, uh, crumpled papers too bothersome for you? i kind of left my laptop at home because it had to go through a long update and i didn't want to wait before i tried writing some more."

"i'm almost done, if it bothers you," maeve spoke as she held the cig between her fingers. it wasn't something she had quite quit yet, but certainly something she didn't do as often as she did six years ago. "unless you want one too?"

"yeah, sorry. but this is kind of a common spot for me to smoke. i don't do it every day, but it's outside and there usually isn't much traffic of people," she sighed, holding the lit cigarette between her figners. maeve took another quick puff before pulling it back after a few seconds.

"yeah, i don't really know how common it is, but i just prefer the crusts being off any sandwiches i make and eat."
