she was surprised to see him. "shouldn't you be gone by now?"

"yeah," he said, with a small smile. "i'm leaving now. bet you're happy, huh."

"and i bet you're not," she grinned. "bet you're gonna miss me."

"you wish. no way in hell."

they glared at each other for a while, then he said softly "i don't want to start another argument or we'll be here all night."

"no, we wouldn't want that now, would we,"

"so i guess i'll see you when i see you, idiot."

"yeah," she said. "have fun. try to be less of a dumbass."

he smiled as he walked towards the door.
"take care of yourself ok, stupid?"

and then he was gone.
