She was leaving for college. But her best friend, now roommate, would take care of her for you. You knew what this meant, but you loved her anyway. You only asked if she could keep her laptop open so you could see.
When you got home she made it very clear that she would never move in with your parents. She added that she's got plenty of friends who would be happy to take her in. You knew she meant one of her exes and you knew you weren't gonna make rent.
