She tried to steer away from the subject of his lost love, but the tension clung too high. She wasn't a great consoler, but she needed to work her magic somehow. "Er... Do you think you're gonna be okay?"

Drew didn't look at her but nodded solomnly. He didn't feel like he he was ever going to be okay, but he knew, deep down that he would. "There's still vacations, right?" he said with a shrug. Of course, he'd have to get her father ot okay it in the first place.

"Yeah..." Charlie said, seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. She quickly searched for any other alternatives. "And... and she can still visit! Right?" She propped her head on her knees and looked out on the fields. Being a friend was a tiring job.

Drew shook his head. "Her dad won't let her out of his sight," he sighed. "I mean, there's a good chance he won't even let me visit and it's not like we'd be leaving Hungary or anything. She's working on it, but..."

"Sheltered, yeah," Charlie nodded. Back home, her life could have been considered sheltered if only she wasn't annoying and persistant. "Dunno what to tell you, Drew, but you lovebirds are going to have to find another way around that."

Drew rolled his eyes at the name, taking it as a tease and not really appreciating it at the moment. He hadn't really expected much sympathy from Charlie, and was kind of surprised he was actually getting this much.

Charlie didn't say anything for a while. The greatness of the fields started to return, and she was soon catching herself in the pondering mood. Wondering outloud, she asked, "How does it feel to like someone so much?" At the end of the sentence, she then regretted it. She had intended it to be a mere thought, not a question to pose. She found that her ability to speak before really thinking to be a curse then.

"I don't know," Drew answered, giving her a small shrug. He thought the question was a little unusual coming from her. "It's like... " He stopped his thought, feeling like what ever he said would sound corney.

She was far too into the deep end. She bit her tongue to keep from provoking him. But oddly enough, not to stop him, either. She slowly pivoted her head towards his direction and just looked at him.

Drew looked back at her and frowned. "What?" he asked, having no intention of continuing. It was bad enough she had bugged him about his feet. He wasn't about to give her any more amunition.

Charlie shook her head. "Nevermind. The whole thing's stupid," she concluded. She hated getting caught up in the moment, because she rarely ever thought deeply. Charlie was more of a girl that wanted fun, not philosophy.

Now, of course, he felt like the whole thing wasn't so stupid and he kept his eyes on Charlie, nudging her a little with his elbow. "No, what?" he asked, having a feeling he was going to pay dearly for his curiosity.

"I'm just curious, dang!" Charlie spat out defensively. She didn't know what else to say, because it would be embarrasing to have to repeat her question again. It was orginally rhetorical. "Just-just go on," she said after deciding her words carefully.

"No, because whatever I say, you're just going to laugh about it," Drew answered back. Making fun of his big feet was one thing, but teasing him about Alhana was something entirely different. Even in the best of circumstances, he didn't want that to happen. He really didn't think he could handle it right now.

"Look at me," Charlie said intently. Her expression was blank, but it inquired. iMight as well find out, she thought, still in that autumn daze. "Usually I'd lie and then I'd make fun of you. But," she took a deep and conceded sigh, "I won't."
