I’m pretty sure Betsy has had a midlife crisis, so I’m wary about her advice. One thing sticks with me though, and that’s the idea of regretting opportunities lost. I already had my opportunity to rock Carter’s world, but I’ve passed up the chance to be his friend, and this is my new mission.

“Hi,” I say to him in line for coffee. “Fancy seeing you here.”

“Oh, hey,” his eyes light up just a bit, but they’re guarded. I don’t blame him. I’m going off script. “I’ve never seen you here before.”

“I used to go to that shitty hole-in-the-wall off campus, but last week I saw a rat behind the counter so, I’m strictly corporate coffee now.” Most of this is a fabrication, well the rat part isn’t, but I’ve been stalking Carter for a week trying to gather the courage to approach him. It only took me a couple of days to figure out his routine. He leaves the frat house at eight every day and then heads to the gym for a swim. Gym, coffee, then class.

“No rats here,” he says. “Well, other than the human kind, I guess.”

We pay for our coffee and linger around one another, neither sure what to do. How do you say goodbye to someone you’ve already said goodbye to?

I see his pool bag, the one he carried everyday with him over the summer and ask, “Have you been swimming?”

“Yeah, I try to go in the mornings. After all those years, it’s a habit I can’t shake.”

I think about him in the water, his other home and it makes me smile. “I’m glad. Swimming makes you happy. It’s good to keep happy things in your life, don’t you think?”

He pushes open the door and we both walk out into a beautiful, blue-skied spring day. “Yeah, I do.”

“Bye, Carter,” I say walking in the opposite direction of his next class.

I leave him there, bewildered, with the cutest, most confused grin on his face. It makes me happy.
