She was very kind to me.

I remember him being a little bit like, she's going to know, she's going to know.

And I was like, I think she already knows.

He talked about feeling like there was an expectation on him to marry a Pakistani girl and his family wouldn't accept him marrying a white girl.

And I asked him, well, what if you just don't get married?

Would that be okay?

Would your family accept that?

And he said, I think so.

And I said, well, okay, let's do that then.

Let's just not get married.

We actually went to a couple of different places.

We took a little road trip around for him to look at them and interview.

I don't think that trying to have a long distance relationship is a good idea, especially given that I have kids and he's going to be living states away.

And he acknowledged that and we had a couple of conversations about it.

But ultimately, he decided that it was important for him to go to this program.

It was a program that his brother had done, so it was kind of a family legacy.

I was very happy for him, congratulated him.

I bought him a cake and helped him start looking for places to buy down there and helped him paint it and helped him pick out furniture and decorate it.

And then, you know, we kind of said goodbye after that.

But of course, goodbye wasn't really goodbye as often happens in these relationships.
