Yeah. [Lexi looks concerned] And Cassie--my big sister--has been acting weird lately. She says she's single and everything's fine, but she keeps going out into the backyard to talk on her phone and by the end of it, she's usually crying. I've tried asking her what's the matter, but all she does is yell at me when I do.

I'm glad, even though things didn't go the way you wanted them to. Sometimes the only option is to move on with our lives. And you're cute and you're nice, I'm sure there would have been plenty of guys who were into you. But, small towns? I've heard that everyone knows everyone else's business in those.

Like a guinea pig? Works for me.

And so am I. I swear, if I told anyone from home half of any of this, they wouldn't believe me. [which is the truth]
