That's for sure. I'd like to think that things will get better, but that's a pretty big if.
[it was the least Lexi could do, be considerate. and she tended to be the peacemaker back home, but Cassie clearly had something bad going on and wouldn't trust Lexi to help her. which was equal parts frustrating and painful]
A close alternative is better than nothing at all? Besides, it's still early in the year, there might be some as we get into summer. So I guess that's a reason to be hopeful.

It's good that you have something of your friend here with you still. That must help at least a little. Even though the part about her not being here anymore is bad. Why is it that for every good thing here, there's a bad thing?
I've never had them! So that means I should look up a recipe!
