Ry gave a sore smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. He'd known someone would ask him this, which was mostly the reason why he'd kept the goodbye parties down to the minimum he had. "I don't wanna stay," he said, as he'd told Deirdre. But there was more to it. "Every place here, I've been with Stephie. Every share house... all of my friends' houses." He broke eye contact, because he needed to concentrate on the words, not the sadness. "If I stay, I'm going to beg her to take me back. She thinks she's better off without me now." There were no words to fit for that feeling.
