    Twenty-Two years ago…Portland State University was loud in the way that only a Friday evening could make it that way.The hall room was full. Music was playing from somewhere down the hall. Someone had brought food and everyone was eating anyway.Lucy sat cross legged on the floor with a textbook she wasn't reading. The party noise was a heavy distraction.Benson dropped down beside her.“You've been on that same page for forty minutes.” He said.“I'm thinking,” she said.“About what exactly?” Benson asked her.“About why I chose pre-med when I clearly hate chemistry.”Benson laughed. It was easy, calm and warm, just as he is.Across the room Mark Tony was holding court the way he always did, he was loud, charming, the kind of person every eye followed without knowing why.He was telling a story that was getting more exaggerated with every sentence and the group around him kept growing.“He's lying.” Lucy said without looking up.“Completely,” Benson agreed.

    Zara pokes at her ice cream with her spoon and didn't look at Drake when she said it.“So when do we tell them? She asked.Drake leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath. He looked at his ice cream like the answer might be in it.“I honestly don't know.” He said.“That's not very helpful, Drake.”“I know.” He looked at her and said. “But think about it.
