"You know, though...my mum once told me 'When one door closes, another opens.' It's a simple old saying, right? The tricky part comes in the end, though. 'We often look so long and so regretfully at the closed door, that we don't see the one that's been opened for us'."
"He's just getting things ready I guess. Not long until March." Cela shrugged, preferring not to think about that whole thing too much. She'd never be his favourite again after that.

"Merlin, Cel." Owie owie ouch. They'd gone from fun banter to pointed critique a bit faster than he'd expected. "I am selfish or are you unattainable?"
Cela looked at Copernicus with a mixture of surprise and alarm. "Neither." She said finally giving pause before adding, "But... I think you kind of subconsciously
like feeling guilty all the time and... maybe you don't know yourself when you are happy or feel like you have a right to be." Cel was pretty sure by now that Copernicus felt like he had some great big pennance to pay that had nothing to do with Plymouth at all. She figured it was more about his mother.
She looked down at the little piece of chocolate she'd just unwrapped, back up at Cope and down at the chocolate again. Hesitatingly she broke it in two, placed one piece on her tongue and offered the other piece to Copernicus.
More than anything, Cela didn't really think Cope was selfish
enough.
