"We'll get through this. It will work out, I just know it will," she finishes kind of doubtfully.
Rian didn't looked up when Liz said she thought it was a rumor. If Rian
did look up, she would've cried for sure. But she nodded fiercely at what Liz said next.
"Mel went off to France with her grandma," she told Liz.
"I don't know when she'll be back...but when she does, we'll go visit her," she promised. She wiped at her own eyes and wrapped her arms around Liz.
"It will work out, Liz," Rian agreed, her voice determined.
"And you can come visit me every single day during breaks, when I'm gone. And I'll write letters. I'm just going home...I'll still be there for you." she said, her voice breaking.
