Yes, I'm Talking About Her Again

Rina has told me that she would like to see me before she leaves the country in June. That's good to know and of course I want to see her too. This is a well-established fact. This news came as a surprise for two reasons. Firstly because it wasn't long ago that she admitted the desire to throw herself into her uni life took priority over her desire to see me. I really thought that was the end of the conversation. That I wouldn't get to see her again. At least, not unless she accidentally ended up with a free weekend with nothing to do. But the most surprising thing was that she is suggesting coming up to Manchester. That alternative will consume more of her time than me visiting her, since she'll be the one spending hours at the mercy of Network Rail. There's also a considerable financial expense involved. I really didn't think she'd be willing to take such lengths to see me.

Of course, she might not. If recent history has taught me anything, it's that I shouldn't be counting on it. Unfortunately she said she "will manipulate [calendar] until Manchester fits in. xxx". Not "I'll try" or "we'll see" or "maybe". "I will". She may not have intended to state it as a fact, but if she doesn't find the time now I'm going to feel let down.

In any case, she will probably change her mind when she sees how expensive the train tickets are. Just like Anneka did. Nobody is going to want to spend that much to see me. I'm too Boring. In fact, when I think of it I really can't imagine why she wants to see me at all!
