NORTHHOWMUCHISYOURLOVE, Chapter 16 part 2
“Yeah, I’ve felt like that, do you feel like you want Phii Joe to hug you again or something?” Ter said, squinting at me, “You were hugged just now, weren’t you?” Then he gave a smirk that was quite annoying.
“I’m not talking to you anymore, you annoying ass.” I said, about to get up from the chair, but Ter grabbed my arm.
“Wait, wait, I’m not teasing anymore. Tell me.”
“Yeah…I felt that way, it…felt warm, I guess.” And I liked it when he patted my head too. Even if it was someone else patting my head, I wouldn’t like it as much. Like when Phii Tharn patted my head, I almost died of annoyance inside.
“That’s good then. Is it like this when you’re with him?”
“How so?”
“Skinship.”
“What’s that?”
“Like touching, holding, hugging.”
“Oh.” If skinship means what Ter is describing, then Phii Johan must really like skinship. I wonder if he does that with everyone or if it’s just with me, which would be nice. Uh…
“North, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Your face is really red.” I touched my face lightly. The thoughts I just had indicated that I’m starting to like him more, don’t they? From thinking I had already opened up, now I’m liking him more and more.
“Hold on, I need a timeout.” I said, lifting one hand as a signal to stop, while the other covered my face before I bent over, breathing deeply to compose myself.
“You’re so cute when you’re embarrassed.”
“No need for compliments, but thank you anyway.” I said before letting out a big sigh, then looked up at Ter again, “Okay now.”
“That’s funny.” Ter said, chuckling a bit at my demeanor, “And what are you getting embarrassed about?”
“Uh, well.”
“Looks like I, as your wingman, am not needed anymore.” he said, making a face like he was sulking, “I wanted to scream and shout in the restaurant. When I found out Phii Joe gave his card to Phii Hill to treat you, I was super embarrassed on your behalf, but I had to keep it in.”
“Did you keep it in?” I said, remembering how Ter had kicked my chair, which startled me completely.
“Guess he’s liked you for a long time.”
“…”
“You’re getting embarrassed again.”
“Stop, no teasing, you beast.” I said loudly, feeling embarrassed just thinking about it. I thought Phii Hill had always been kind to me, but it turns out it was Phii Johan all along.
Oh my… “See, you get mad when you’re embarrassed.”
“Do you like being insulted? You keep teasing me.”
“I’ll stop teasing. About Phii Joe going to work in Boston, what are you going to do?” Ter asked.
“What can I do?”
“Go with him.”
“Are you crazy? I have to study, right?” I said. With nearly two weeks worth of work piling up, Phii Joe would definitely be overwhelmed too.
“Phii Joe also has to study. Isn’t this too much work? Seriously, if he is studying, shouldn’t he not be working this much?” Ter said with a thoughtful look, “Aren’t you going to tell him to take a break?”
“Probably not.” I shook my head. While I’m concerned about him working so hard, I don’t really want to tell him to rest because I think someone who works this hard must be very driven and struggles with themselves a lot. Telling him to rest out of the blue might just discourage him for no reason.
“If he really can’t handle it, he might tell me quietly, but he probably knows his own limits, I guess.” I said, following my thoughts, “My job is just to support him.”
“You’re exemplary, not stopping him no matter what he does, always there to support him, huh?” Ter said, squinting at me again, which was getting too annoying, always looking for ways to tease.
“Oh right, North, I forgot to tell you.”
“What?”
“About the dorm fee, I’ve already paid it.”
“Huh? How? I haven’t given you any money yet.” “Yesterday evening, the dorm manager messaged me saying if we didn’t pay quickly, she’d cut off the water and electricity, so I had to transfer the money to her.”
“Oh, well, that’s good then, I’ll pay you back later.” I said, thinking he initially said he didn’t have the money, if he had paid it upfront, it would have been settled. We wouldn’t have risked losing water and electricity like this.
“You don’t have to pay me back, pay Phii Joe back.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, tilting my head in confusion.
“How would I have the money to pay for you in advance? It was really urgent, so I messaged Phii Joe last night. I tried messaging you too, but you had no money, so Phii Joe transferred seven thousand for the dorm fee to me.” Ter explained before pulling out his wallet and handing me some money, “Here’s the change, I withdrew it to give back to you.”
I took the change, still a bit confused.
“Wait a minute, Ter…then why did I borrow fifty thousand from Phii Joe for? I was planning to use eleven thousand for the dorm fee.” Because the gold was forty thousand, right? The extra eleven thousand was supposed to go towards the dorm fee, since my other money was for tuition.
“Tuition fees.” Ter said.
“No, I already had eleven thousand, I have money for tuition.”
“I don’t know, but it was urgent. The dorm manager messaged at ten, asking if I could transfer before ten-fifteen. She said if the electricity was cut, it would take another two or three days for it to be turned back on.”
“So, in the end, there’s extra money now?”
“Giving it to you.” “I’m not taking it. It’ll just add to my debt.” I said, holding my head, why does Ter do things without asking me first? That’s an extra 7,000 baht in debt, and even if I borrowed it, Phii Johan won’t accept it back in cash.
“Sorry, I didn’t know about your debt conditions at first…thought you could pay it back later. I didn’t know he wouldn’t accept cash back.” Ter’s voice got quieter and quieter as he spoke, and then he slapped my arm.
“Ouch, why did you hit me?”
“What are the conditions for repaying the money, man? Damn, you’re making me embarrassed, why can’t you be gentle all the time, huh?” Ter said, shaking my arm back and forth to deal with his embarrassment. Why is he so intensely embarrassed? My arm is all bruised now.
“Have you even started counting how much you’ve paid back?”
“Uh.” I shook my head slightly, “How am I supposed to keep my composure to count?”
“Phii Joe probably knows already.”
“What?”
“That you can’t keep count.” I widened my eyes as I realized, that’s right, Phii Joe probably knows I wouldn’t be able to count it. Honestly, who could count in that situation? My mind was going blank, and I had to count how many times we kissed, with each time lasting who knows how many minutes, when would I count?
“Damn him…he’s cheating.”
“Nao, hurry up!” I turned around and shouted for Duennao who was walking with a grumpy face on the sidewalk, while I was on his motorcycle, waiting for him from a distance.
“Hurry your left nut, you’re just teasing me.”
“Hurry up, or you’ll miss football practice, and I won’t wait for you.” “Oh, you jerk.” Nao, hearing this, ran towards me. As he got close, I teasingly moved the bike further away.
“Come on, when are we going?”
“North, you bastard, I’m in a hurry!”
“I’m in a hurry too. You’re slow. Should I head to the football field and wait for you there?”
“You’re just teasing me!” Nao shouted loudly, making me laugh, because Nao didn’t have a helmet which is a requirement to drive in the campus, so he had to walk to the front gate because the guard wouldn’t let him in without one, and he still hadn’t reached me yet, truly slow.
“It’s my bike, North.”
“Can you run faster? I am not waiting anymore.”
“Asshole.” Duennao shouted at me again, and after a while, he did come over. Once I got on, he slapped my head once. Even though I was wearing a helmet, it still stung, confirming what Tiger said about Nao being heavy-handed.
Today is Monday.
Since we finished watching the movie yesterday, I haven’t talked to Phii Johan, and today marks the first day of Sport Day activities. There will be various activities like sports practice, cheering squad rehearsals. As the midterms approach, activities will stop to allow time for studying, and after nearly two weeks, it will be the day of Sport Day itself.
And that’s when Phii Joe will go to Boston.
At first, I was puzzled about why the activities period was so long, but after seeing last year’s Sport Day event, I realized it was quite grand, starting from early morning and going on until the night, essentially combining both a day and night sports event. I managed to skip the brutal cheering squad of the engineering faculty by pretending to be a soccer player. Other faculties allow you to do something else instead of joining the cheering squad, but in engineering, everyone has to participate, even if they play sports. However, I thought if I pretended to be part of the sports team, I’d have an easier chance to skip out.
I rode my bike to the big football field and parked there. Kyu followed with Skater on the back. Today was the day for selecting the soccer club members to find the starters and reserves for the competition. Those who don’t make it have to go back to the cheering squad. The only ones trying out today are Nao and Kyu. Meanwhile, I and Kett just came to hang out.
“Oh, North.” I turned towards the voice calling me, and it was Phii Arthit. He was with the medical faculty’s football team. I had to walk past them a bit to get to our engineering group, which means the selection for both the medical and engineering faculties are close by. Wow, it’s intense right from the selection phase.
Tiger, who’s the captain of the engineering team, said the faculty they least want to compete against is the medical faculty because Phii Arthit is their captain, and these two faculties have been vying for the championship for several years.
“Hello Phii Arthit.” I greeted him immediately. Phii Arthit in his sports attire looked even better than usual; the sports outfit really suits him.
“Are you competing in soccer too?”
“Oh, no, I’m not. Just here to watch my friends.”
“Not joining the cheering squad?”
“I’m skipping it, hehe.” I said, giving him a dry smile before letting my other three friends go ahead, “So, uh, has the medical faculty started their selection yet?”
“Today is the day, waiting for the freshmen to arrive.” “Oh.” I nodded, indicating that I understood. “And…where is Phii Joe?” I asked inadvertently. I just wanted to know what he was up to, that’s all. We haven’t talked at all, and I didn’t dare to message him either.
“Huh?” Phii Arthit raised his eyebrow slightly, “Oh, he was called by Fah’s father again. If he’s done talking, he’s probably at the basketball club.”
“Oh…I see.” Phii Fah’s father, the dean, right? So, the matter of asking for leave isn’t settled yet, huh?
“Uh, can we take a picture together?” Phii Arthit asked, which made me look at him with confusion. Why would he suddenly want to take a picture with me?
“Uh…sure.” I agreed, even though I was still confused, before smiling for the camera when Phii Arthit set it up to take the photo.
“Can I post it?”
“You can.”
“Then I’ll tag you, give me your Facebook.”
“Here.” and then I gave him my Facebook name. So, Phii Arthit actually posted a picture with me and even tagged me, “But why did you take the photo?”
“Huh?”
“Never mind, I just wanted to tease someone.”
Oh no, this is bad…
I opened Facebook to find that he had indeed tagged me in the photo, and in the picture, Phii Arthit looked really good compared to me. Then I looked at the caption…
ArthitSw, added 1 new photo – With North Natchanan, @JohanCt.
He even tagged Phii Joe…
The likes and comments were coming in fast. Wait, am I the one in trouble here? Not only does my face not look great in the photo, but I might also get criticized.
Phii Fah commented too: PowarutTf.: You went to tease him, and you even tagged him.
ArthitSw: @PowarutTf. Wanted to see someone get heated up.
And there were comments asking who I was, and they tagged Phii Johan as well, why so many comments? And various other comments, which I didn’t feel like reading right now.
“North, come here!” I heard Duennao shout. At first, I wanted to ask Phii Arthit something, but I had to excuse myself to go find Nao. I saw Phii Arthit looking at his phone, chuckling slightly before answering a call, putting the phone to his ear. Since I left before hearing who called, I didn’t know who was on the other end.
Incoming call from: Johan’
(delete)
“You have a fast response.”
(Arthit)
“I won’t delete.”
(You’re annoying, where are you now?)
“At the football field, coming here?”
(Can’t go, the dean is being a pain in the ass.)
“Why?”
(He’s called me until I’m sick of it.)
“And you’re still at Fah’s dad’s office?”
(In front of the office, waiting to talk business with someone, don’t know who.)
“Didn’t you already sort everything out?”
(Yeah. If the dean office still doesn’t get it after this, then there’s no need to talk anymore. This will be the last time they talk to me, or they can talk to my dad, they can choose.)
“If your dad comes, everything will explode.” (Exactly. If they don’t want that mess, they should let me go, or I’ll end up killing someone.)
“Hot-headed, am I making you even more hot-headed?”
(Yeah, delete the message, you beast.)
“I won’t delete.”
(Arthit)
“What?”
(You are…annoying.)
“If you want me to delete it, transfer the money.”
(Are you so broke that you have to scam money from me now?)
“No, I don’t want your money. If you want me to delete it, just transfer.”
(How much?)
“Two.”
(Two thousand?)
“Two thousand, twenty thousand, two hundred thousand, whatever.”
(Beast)
“Okay, I’ll delete it. I found a way to make money.”
(Joe these days, he’s working easy.)
“Joe. Do you think I’m Joe?”
(Isn’t it the same? And where are you now?)
“Football field.”
(What are you doing?)
“Waiting for the first-year students to try out.”
(Not talking about you, don’t think you’re so important.)
“Oh, the junior is the important one then.”
(…)
“Hanging out with friends, said they skipped cheerleading practice to just hang out here, they asked about you earlier too.”
(Really?)
“Smiling secretly, huh?”
(What are you talking about, send a picture. Not of you, though. Don’t show your face.)
“How much for a picture?”
(Tit, if we didn’t know each other, I’d think you were short on cash.)
“So, how much are you offering?”
(How much do you want?)
“Three thousand per photo, I’ll send them as an album.”
(Okay, make sure you take good pictures.)
“Got it.”
…
The weather was quite chilly even though it was only a little past four in the afternoon, and there was not much sun, truly fitting for the winter season even if it’s not exactly winter-like, but for Thailand, this is good enough.
“It looks like it might rain.” Skater remarked while Duennao and Kyu were changing their shoes.
“You’re annoying, North, on a cold day you don’t wear a jacket, but on days when it’s boiling hot, you choose to wear one.” Kyu said. The reason I wore it wasn’t for the weather, it’s because Phii Hill mentioned that a hot compress could help. So, I applied a hot compress all night, and the red mark on my neck actually went away. I must thank Phii Hill for that.
Phii Joe must have known about this too, but why didn’t he tell me? T^T
“Hey, Nao.” I called out to Nao, suddenly remembering something, “Your brother, he’s in Boston, right?” I recalled that Duennao had told me he had a twin, and he had shown off several pictures of him, named ‘Dannuea’, the older brother who went to study in America.
I like the names of these two, Dannuea and Duennao, they really fit together. Even though they might cause some confusion.
“Yeah, why?”
“Phii Joe is going to work in Boston.”
“Really, that’s pretty far.” Skater said with a slightly surprised look, “Won’t that affect his studies?”
“I heard he’s taking time off from studying.” I said.
“How long will he be gone?” Kett asked.
“About two weeks, I guess.”
“Wow, the studies are already tough enough for doctors, now he’s going to work as well, is he a superhuman or what?”
“Daniel called me the other day, he said it’s really cold in Boston right now, with snow and everything, the temperature is below zero by several degrees.” Duennao said.
“Daniel?” I repeated, who is Daniel?
“It’s Dannuea…When he moved there, people started calling him Dan, thinking it was short for Daniel. So I often teased him, calling him Daniel until it stuck.”
“Oh, I see. That’s cool.” I said, thinking that with a name like that, he could fit in abroad, “How many hours is it from Bangkok to Boston?”
“Eleven, it’s like a day and night switch.”
“I’ve never met your brother. I’ve only seen pictures. Doesn’t he ever come back to Thailand?” I asked. I’ve only heard Nao talk about him, bragging about his brother this and that, but never got a chance to meet him in person.
“Nah, but I’m planning to save up and fly there to surprise him.”
“Really? When are you going?” “Waiting for my holiday and to save up money first. But I’ve never been abroad. I’m not sure if I can make it.” Nao said, looking slightly worried.
“Take Tiger with you, doesn’t he go abroad often?” I suggested. I’ve been quietly shipping this little ship for a while now, often subtly pushing and helping out, but the issue is that the captain is too clumsy. At this rate, there might not even be a ship to begin with, it might just be me swimming alone.
“I asked him. He said he’s not free, so I’m disappointed.”
“Really? He said he’s not free?”
“Yeah.”
I made a face of disbelief. Tiger isn’t free for Nao? That can’t be true. The only reason must be that he’s playing hard to get. He doesn’t seem to care much about Nao when others are around, but behind the scenes, he’s all over him, buying food, snacks, all sorts of ginger stuff for Nao until one might think he owns a ginger farm.
“Try asking him again.” I said.
“Why?”
“He might think you’re joking. Just beg him, ask him a lot.” This might be the time we see the tiger (of jealousy) collapse from a heart attack.
“Pfft, ask how? But I’ll try asking him again later.” Duennao said, “I miss Dan. I’m really worried when someone goes far away, especially Dan. I don’t know if he’s getting teased over there.”
“Do you guys call each other all the time?” I asked.
“Yeah, all the time. The last time he called, he was crying saying he missed home, it nearly broke my heart, my brother, sigh.” He let out a big sigh. I don’t quite understand sibling relationships since I never had any, especially twins who have been together since birth. It’s natural for them to love each other deeply. After a while of chatting, the coach called for all the athletes to gather, leaving just me and Skater sitting here. I had already arranged with Tiger to register both myself and Skater as reserves. If the cheerleading senior comes by, they’ll see me around the field and I can pretend I’m here to practice.
While sitting there, my phone rang.
Incoming call from: Phii Prang’
No matter if it’s a message or a call, seeing Phii Prang’s name always sets me on edge.
“Hello, Phii Prang.”
(North, what’s our student ID number?)
“Hmm…Me? It’s 249.”
(Oh, Electrical Engineering, right? From the Engineering Faculty.)
“Yes, what’s up?”
(I came to pay the tuition fee, almost missed it, nearly got your credits dropped, did you know? Joe told me to hurry over.)
“Huh? Tuition fee, what do you mean?”
(I’ll call back later, but I need to pay first.)
Then Phii Prang hung up. I completely forgot about the tuition fee, just yesterday I was talking about it with Ter, but today I completely forgot. Actually, the deadline for paying the tuition was almost up, but Phii Prang said she was paying it now.
Ten minutes later, Phii Prang called again, and I quickly answered.
(It’s good you caught it in time, getting credits dropped would’ve been bad.)
“I’m really sorry. I forgot about it.” I said, feeling guilty. Why am I so forgetful? T^T I need to fix this urgently.
(No worries, I got a lot of overtime pay from the boss for this.)
“Did Phii Joe pay my tuition?” (Yeah, it’s been added to the debt.)
“…”
“Oh, that’s bad.” I said in a low voice, letting out a big sigh.
(I was going to ask you first, but it’s really urgent) Just like with Ter’s dorm fees, why does everything seem so urgent to me? T^T
“How much is the tuition fee, sister?”
(Ten thousand six hundred, hold on, let me check our debt, I just calculated it) the voice on the phone said before there was a sound like they were rummaging through a bag, (In total, two hundred seventy-nine thousand nine hundred thirty baht.)
(Just seventy baht more and it would be two hundred eighty thousand, can we round it up?)
“No way. Absolutely not, seventy baht still counts.” I quickly said. Every baht matters now.
(Then shall I top up your phone credit? Let’s make it a nice round number. I find accounting hard.)
“Oh, Phii Prang, okay then.” and Phii Prang topped up my phone credit. So, my total debt is two hundred eighty thousand, why is it so much? It’s almost three hundred thousand. T^T
(About the debt, has it been reduced at all?)
“Huh? What did you say, sister?”
(Has the debt been reduced, like…uh, oh, I’m embarrassed.)
“Phii Prang…you know about that too?”
(Uh, I had to pry it out of him almost to death, oh, it’s too much, really too much, but somehow it feels good.)
“Phii Prang, please don’t tease me. I beg you.” damn, it’s so embarrassing, I want to hide, bury myself under the ground and disappear with the lava beneath the Earth’s crust, T^T
(Come on, you can trust me. No need to be embarrassed with me, this way, accounting will be a bit easier.)
“Phii Prang…” I dragged out the word because I didn’t know what else to say. It’s embarrassing, isn’t it? How can she say I don’t have to be embarrassed when it’s this mortifying!
(Yeah, where are you? I’ll come pick you up, I’m in the university now, come pay the money.)
“Huh? Pick me up to go where?”
(To find Joe, he told me to pick you up, and then we’ll go deliver you to him.)
“I’m at the football field, right in front of the university, the big field.”
(Okay)
I immediately packed my stuff when I heard Phii Prang was coming to pick me up. When I saw the black car stop nearby and the driver’s window rolled down to reveal Phii Prang, I ran towards her.
“Hey, North. Where are you going?” Skater grabbed me, asking with confusion.
“Oh…uh.”
“To see a doctor.”
“Huh? Are you sick?”
“I’ll be going, see you later.” I said and quickly ran off. I wasn’t lying, I really was going to see a doctor. If I had said I was going to see Phii Joe, I’d get teased again.
I got into Phii Prang’s car, and she gave me a kind smile. After a while, the rain that had been threatening to fall all morning started to come down. With it being the end of the school day and the rain, the university traffic was terrible.
“It starts raining now when we’re about to leave.” Phii Prang complained a little, “Oh yeah, here, I made a note, check if it’s correct.” She handed me a small piece of paper, and when I looked down, I saw it was a list of my debts that Phii Prang had calculated.
Tuition, dorm fees, motorcycle repair costs, plus the fifty thousand I borrowed.
Two hundred and eighty thousand…
“It’s a lot, isn’t it?” Phii Prang said.
“Yes, it’s quite a lot.” I said, letting out a sigh in frustration.
“And the terms for paying back the debt…how would you feel if I told you I saw the marks on your neck and lips? Oh, at my age, I shouldn’t be embarrassed by something like this.” Phii Prang raised a hand to touch her cheek.
“Phii Prang, stop.” I quickly covered the spot on my neck. The mark had faded, but if you looked closely, you could still see faint traces, though they were very subtle.
“Okay, okay, I won’t ask. So, how much do you want to reduce the debt by? Just write it down.”
I looked at the paper with a heavy heart. How much should I reduce it by? I guessed…might as well guess generously. After writing, I handed the paper back to Phii Prang.
“Wow, fifteen thousand off? Oh, I won’t tease you anymore. Does that include hugs?”
“…”
“North, don’t blush and sulk at me, you’re too easy to tease.”
“Phii Prang, don’t tease.” I said, making a face at her. “Oh, right, I have more to tell you. First thing, you don’t have to work at the shop anymore, both shops. I heard you’re pretty busy with activities, but if you want to go, you can, and I’ll pay you daily instead.”
“Oh, I see.” I nodded, indicating that I understood. But I was still worried. If exams are coming up, I really won’t be able to work.
“If you want more snack money, you can ask Joe. Same conditions for paying off the debt.”
“…”
“Okay, okay, I won’t tease you, you’re too easy to tease.” Phii Prang said, chuckling and gently ruffling my hair in an affectionate manner, “Also, you don’t have to transfer the debt back to me. I won’t take cash back, you know that, right?”
I nodded slowly.
“Another thing…this is very important.”
“Yes?”
“Joe, he’s going to Boston, you know that, right?”
“Yes.”
“He’s going after the exams, with both work and studies, it’s a lot. Last night he didn’t sleep at all, there was urgent work. He sent it off early in the morning. He had an extra class scheduled in the morning, but by the time he got back to work, it was almost evening, and he finished almost at dawn.”
“I didn’t know where he went. Normally, if there’s work, he always rushes back to work first.”
“…”
That’s bad…
So when he dropped me off at the dorm and seemed in a hurry, that was…
I feel guilty now. I shouldn’t have invited him to watch the movie. If there was work, he could have told me. I’m not that unreasonable, and now he has to rush back to work without even sleeping.
“Joe wasn’t always this irritable or short-tempered, he was more cheerful before. Sometimes when he’s quiet and doesn’t talk much, it’s because of the stress from work. The pressure from various directions, plus the exhaustion, how much can a person of his age handle? But Joe has always managed well.”
“But lately, it’s gotten heavier. Not long before he met you, his father wanted to hand over all the business before he graduates. I advised against it, suggesting he should wait until after graduation, but Joe insisted he could handle it. I don’t know where he gets this workaholic spirit from.” Phii Prang continued while I listened intently. Outside, it was raining, and there was traffic, so we had plenty of time to talk.
“Joe is really talented, I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as him before. And he’s studying medicine too. For a normal person, just studying medicine is draining enough, isn’t it? So you can see why he doesn’t attend classes much; he often misses out on the work at his faculty because he’s busy at the company.”
“Actually, for someone as busy as him, I still can’t believe he can be a ladies’ man too, but that might just be his way of responding to advances without thinking much. If someone offers, he just goes along with it. Am I being too harsh with my words?” Phii Prang said with a hint of concern before shifting gears as the car started moving.
“Not at all.” I said, shaking my head.
“That’s what I thought. But if those women met Johan the way you have, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance. Even if they could handle it, it wouldn’t be easy, and whether Joe would stick around is another story.” “What I want to say is, I’m glad it’s you, North. Joe has told me a little, but really just a little, so I hardly know anything.”
“What did he tell you?” I interjected, curious about what Phii Johan had shared about me.
“I won’t tell you that, but let’s just say it’s really good that it’s you. Even though Joe doesn’t need anyone to look after him, still…How should I put this? It seems like things are better with you around.”
Things are better with me around…
“If things are better with me around, then I won’t go anywhere.”
