Next month in Philly doesn't happen.
And neither does it in the three months after that.
After a year, then five more, Nancy chalked Philly up to being a pipe dream. A good idea steeped in the optimism of youth, a promise made with good intentions, but that will never come to fruition. They can want to meet up, old friends reconnecting, more than anything maybe, but that doesn't make it happen. You just can't go back in time. It's impossible.
Nothing will ever be the same as the relationships they forged with one another, battle tested and worn-in, but they can't ever be like they were, either.
Life, it just moves on. Fast.
Maybe they all should have listened to Ferris Bueller, and made the time to stop and look around at each other. But they didn't, and now here they are. She's nearing thirty. And Nancy can't remember the last time they were all in one place.
