( two years would put oli at around twenty years old.

there is a three year gap between them. so the question now is whether to tell him the truth or lie. )

All of us? The last time we were all together was graduation. We haven't been in the same place together since. ( he doesn't want to lie, especially not to oli; but he isn't ready to divulge everything either. not when the guilt is still eating away at him from the inside out. ) I'm 23 now though.

( he can at least tell him that much. )

How long have you been here?
