"Our parting hurt so acutely I realize not because we thought the geography was insurmountable or that the Christmas break was so far away. But because we didn't know the people we are about to change into, maybe we wouldn't be friends anymore or not close ones. What if everyone returned being all had such a great time and behaving subtly differently to make a clear priorities and intimacies had shifted acting like things were the same. But there was a new distance around each of us like castles with moats name dropping strangers with whom we'd forwarded mysterious exciting and inpenetrable new alliances. Nothing held the same power and mystique that the unknown did"
