Alex watched her silently, a somewhat far-away look in his dark eyes. What would he have given, all those years ago, to sit across from Anita one last time? Now he was here and he was torn between grabbing on and never letting go, or running in the opposite direction. He was standing on tenuous ground, but he didn't want to make the leap to either side.

"So," she said to smooth the situation over, "do you still live aroun here or have you since moved?"

"Oncologist," Alex repeated, sounding a bit numb now. She was dating a doctor? Or, rather, a future doctor. Same different. What guy could compete with that? It doesn't matter, idiot, he told himself. You're leaving next week, and this will be over. She wouldn't want to get back together with you anyway.

Alex cleared his throat. "Well, that's great. I'm so happy for you, Anita." In a way he was; in another way he wanted to find this guy and drop him off on a remote island... With plenty of food and water, of course.
