[Seeing the way Lars's disposition kind of crumbles breaks Sadie's heart, but she isn't sure what to do about it. She anxiously folds one set of fingers over the other, looking guiltily Lars's way. She should be happy too, of course—and she is. But this was the part she'd been looking forward to the least.
She knew it would be so, so stupid to stay in Beach City just because of Lars. He wasn't—even her boyfriend, or anything, and even if he was (which, of course, would be totally ridiculous, by the way!! Right? Yeah), that would still be a stupid thing to do.
But she wished she could, honestly. Especially now that things were—better, she thought.]
Yeah, [she reiterates, sounding crestfallen.] In a couple months. Windy City.
