Boxes are getting filled with books and such. Shelves are being wiped down.

Come help pack, say adios, bring coffee, admit your crush, whatever.

"Which suggests, of course, that you did? Tell me?"

Lana flushes again. "If you can't or don't want to, it's okay. It's just that I miss him so much and nobody ever talks about him..."

"I know. It's like that with a lot of students who disappear. He..well, he loved you. If he was the marrying kind and you two were older...things like that. It was very sweet."

Lana ducked her head. "Thank you," she said softly. "It really means a lot. We never exactly said the words, but I think we both knew how we felt about each other. At least I hope he did. I do know he didn't want to leave me."

She made herself look up and meet CJ's eyes. "I think I'll see him again someday. Somehow. Might be just wishful thinking, but..."

"He thought the world of you, you know. Thought you were one of the best teachers - people - going."

She smiled softly and looked away, because, um, there wasa bird out the window. Not because she was getting a little choked up. "Thanks Lana, he's a good guy. I'd kinda like another chance to see him and say thanks."

"Me too," Lana said in a very small voice. And then, as if pulling herself together, she added more strongly, "The next time I see him, I'll let him know."

"Good. Good, Lana." she said softly and began putting binders in a box. "I've got to get this done, or else i'll never get out of here on Sunday like I'm supposed to."

"Well, I'll let you get on with it then," Lana said and stood up.

She hesitated before she left. "Thank you, Ms. Cregg. Truly. I wish I'd had a chance to take one of your classes. And I hope our paths cross again someday."

"Me too, Lana. I think you're going to grow up and be a fantastic woman to know."

Lana smiled at her once more and left the office.
