Oooof but it ends less fun! Poor Oliver... I guess your talk catalyzed her into taking a hard look at the business. And she's right about you leaving soon, even if it's hard to hear. That whole conversation was really well-written, openly talking about what each person wants--our protag should really have known that being upfront and open is what was called for. I want these crazy kids to make it work but the setting isn't really the type to have happy endings, for sure.
