Right.

Where do I begin?

-Anne? -Whoa, Lily!

-Hi! -Hi!

-How are you? -Fine, fine. You?

Me too. This is Doris.

-Oh, yeah. Hi, Anne. -Doris.

So, you just did your groceries for the week?

Yes, I ran out of sandpaper again. Really…

No, I just moved house, actually.

-In this neighborhood? -Yes, just around the corner.

-Really? -Yes.

-Doris lives there too! -No.

-We're practically neighbors. -What a coincidence.

Right. I have to go.

-It was nice seeing you. -Yes.

See you soon.

-Yes, see you soon. -Bye. Bye, Doris!

That's just great, running into your ex

looking like you haven't left the house in a week.

While she looks amazing.

Lily was my first girlfriend.

My very first true love.

Gross!

-I never wear these pants anymore. -I'm borrowing this shirt, okay?

-You're already wearing it, so… -Yes, that's right.

Lil, no, no, no…

No time…

We were one of those annoying cute couples.

And of course we both moved to Amsterdam to study.

No!

Oh shit, I'll take you.

We were inseparable.

You're nowhere without me, babe. That much is clear.

At least, that's what we thought.

Why would you compare something that is supposed to be seen

to something that is supposed to be read?

You already sound like a true student of Dutch languages.

Don't you think adaptations are cool? Don't you think it's interesting to see

what they left out of the Harry Potter adaptations?

Okay, yes. That's a good example.

-Adaptation? Have you seen that film? -No, why?

-You have to see that one. -Hi!

-What are we talking about? -Adaptations.

Anne thinks you shouldn't compare books to films.

Oh, I'm not much of a reader. I prefer series.

-Which ones? -Orphan Black. You know that one?

No.

-That's… a cool show. -Yeah?

Well, we weren't completely alike.

-I can't do this. -Come on, Anne.

You just need to find your breath.

Well, I found your breath.

You're breathing very fast now.

Hey! I want this one.

I started reading this book, but I lost it on vacation.

Anna… Blaman. -Bla-man.

That's not her real name. Blaman stands for "I'd rather be a man".

Cool.

It's this letter exchange between Anna Blaman

and her "good friend" Marie-Louise.

They denied it, but I'm sure they were together

because they were so fucking gay.

Nothing.

-You're a book nerd. -So what?

-Let me be. -I'll leave you be.

Here. "How often has it occurred that you actually loved love

even though you thought you loved your loved one?"

So basically she's talking about being in love with the idea of love.

-That's nicely put, isn't it? -Being in love with the idea of love…

How can you know whether you're in love with the person or with the idea of love?

Isn't that connected?

I think you'll know when it turns out that you like the idea of being in love

rather than that you're actually in love.

That seems like a huge grey area to me.

Oh, well. Maybe.

I mean, seriously, how can you know?

The differences between us became increasingly clear.

I started to doubt.

We already have to choose our internship.

-They're just saying that to scare you. -I've gotten all these forms about it.

They just don't want you to wait too long.

I heard from Pim…

-Hi. -Hi.

-Do you want to go? -Yes.

-Really? -Yes. I'm tired, I want to go home.

-Okay. -Yes?

I think I'd like to stay a bit longer. Is that okay?

Sure. Of course.

-You sure? -Yes, totally. Stay!

-Okay. -Bye.

-Are you going? -Yes, I'm tired.

-Have fun. Bye! -Good night.

-Enjoy. -Sleep well.

Beer?

It might sound harsh…

but I noticed that I didn't really miss Lily when I wasn't with her.

It felt nice to break free a bit.

Hey, baby. Did you have a nice evening?

I did. I'm coming to you right now.

And I love you.

That's it.

And I did love her.

Really, a lot.

But something had changed.

And I think we both realized that.

-How did your exam go? -I think I passed.

Nice. Relieved?

Yeah.

But I have another one next week, so…

Right.

Lily…

Oh, no…

An! It was so nice to see you. :)

Curious about your new house. Coffee soon?

Good luck with the move x

Yes, fun! How about Sunday? X
