Me: I won’t have you speaking of yourself that way, Reid.

Me: I’m sorry for not checking in as often. I don’t want you to feel like I’m pressuring you to speak with me when you might not be ready.
Me: I miss you.
Me: I’m buried in work preparing for an additional course in my workload. After a long day, I wish I could come home to you.
Me: How are you feeling about your last semester?
Reid: Worried. I wish I could come home to you, too.
Me: Why don’t you?
Reid: I can’t right now, Milo.
Me: I know my word might not mean much after Christmas, but I want you to remember I’m here for you, Reid.
Reid: I know.
