Lauryn and Conrad went back to college which made them sad since they weren't in the same college, but they called and texted and facetimed all the time. They visited each other whenever they could, getting a lot of surprise visits as well. It was hard going back to college after being gone for the summer, but they both slowly got back into routine. Lauryn was currently at the library, working on her homework when she heard her phone buzzed. She grabbed her phone, smiling at the picture on her lock screen. It was a selfie Conrad took with her during spring break, his arms around her and her smiling brightly. Her background was a picture of the sunset over the ocean. She smiled at seeing Conrad calling her.
"Hey, Coco!" She said excitedly. Since they didn't go to the same college, their phone calls were a precious way for Lauryn to feel connected to Conrad.
"Hey, Lu!" Conrad's voice came through the phone, warm and familiar. His voice still gave her butterflies. "How's the studying going?"
Lauryn leans back in her chair, relief washing over her at the sound of his voice. Just the sound of his voice could brighten her day. "It's going okay," She replies, adjusting her glasses as she glanced at her scattered notes. "I'm making progress, slowly but surely. How about you? How's everything on your end?"
Conrad chuckles lightly. "Oh, you know, same old same old. Just trying to survive the chaos of college life," He said, his voice tinged with humor. "But seriously, I miss you. It feels like forever since we last hung out."
Lauryn nods, even though Conrad couldn't see her. "I know what you mean. Sometimes it feels like time just flies by, and other times, it feels like it's dragging its feet." She admitted, tapping her pencil against her notebook absentmindedly. Since she started college, she had become more fidgety, a habit she developed whenever she was deep in thought or feeling anxious.
Lauryn's words resonate deeply with Conrad, and he can almost feel her presence across the phone line. "Yeah, time's a funny thing," He agrees, leaning back against his dorm room wall. "But hey, at least we have these calls and visits to keep us connected, right?"
A soft smile tugs at Lauryn's lips as she nods, even though Conrad can't see her. "Definitely," she agrees. "I don't know what I'd do without our chats. They keep me sane amidst all the craziness of college."
Conrad chuckles softly. "Likewise, baby. Likewise." There's a brief pause before he continues, his tone growing more serious. "Hey, um, how have you been holding up since...You know..."
Lauryn's heart skips a beat at Conrad's mention of Susannah. It's still a fresh wound for both of them. "It's been tough," She confesses softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "But having you to talk to helps. And I've been leaning on our memories a lot lately."
Conrad's voice softens. "Yeah, me too," He murmurs. "But hey, we'll get through this together, okay? We're a team."
A small smile graces Lauryn's lips at Conrad's words. "Yeah, baby," She agrees, feeling a warmth spreading through her chest. "We're a team."
