I wipe my fogged glasses and then set them back on my nose.
“It’s not goodbye,” he says to me, as though he can’t bear that idea. “I’ll come back here. I promise.” He takes a few more steps backwards. “If not, then I guess I’ll just have to find two cans and a string long enough to connect you to me.”
My heart hurts, and just as he turns his back to me, I call out, “Garrison.”
He glances over his shoulder.
I don’t know what I planned to say. Maybe I just wanted to stop him. To see his face. I swallow hard and murmur, “Merry Christmas.”
He hears my quiet voice. “Merry Christmas.”
It’s the saddest holiday of my life. I lost one of the most precious gifts I’ve ever been given. I lost my first friend from Philadelphia.
I lost him to New York. I lost him to Faust. To a boarding school and his parent’s demands. I wonder if he’ll return after he’s graduated. Maybe we’ll grow apart. Our paths that kept crossing are beginning to diverge, and I’m really scared.

With Valentine’s Day just behind us, it’s time for another update on the Calloway Sisters & Their Men! Here’s the whereabouts of our favorite flower-named sisters (plus Willow!) and their sexy AF hunks.
The Stokes
Poppy Calloway (34) & Sam Stokes (34)
Daughter:Maria (11)
Update:These two were caught out and about on a romantic Valentine’s date night! They did a “sip and paint” at a local studio where paparazzi snapped photos of paint brushes flying at cheeks and arms, purposefully missing that canvas. So adorable! And such a rare sighting for these two who usually keep out of the public eye.
The Cobalts
Rose Calloway (30) & Connor Cobalt (31)
Daughters:Jane (4)
Sons:Charlie & Beckett (2-year-old twins) and Eliot (8-months-old)
Update:Rose and Connor headed to Paris with their entire family for Valentine’s. #CoupleGoals. Can you just imagine being a fly on the wall in their private jet?
The Hales
Lily Calloway (28) & Loren Hale (29)
Son:Maximoff (4)
Daughter:Luna (3-months-old)
Update:No photos of Lily and Loren on Valentine’s. Boo! But obviously they have good reason, since I’m sure they’re staying home to be with the cutest of cute babies – Luna Hale! Don’t you love that name?
The Meadows
Daisy Calloway (23) & Ryke Meadows (30)
Daughter:Sullivan (2)
Update:Daisy and Ryke took a motorcycle ride on Valentine’s Day, and paparazzi were given the iconic middle finger from Ryke. Check out the gif!
