As Bright remembered the day that Hannah left, he also started to remember the good times... the really good times... But that was over. She permanently moved to Minnesota and broke it off with him because she thought it would be too difficult to have a long-distance relationship– she saw what happened to Ephram and Amy– how they escalated, then declined, escalated, and declined, over and over and over again. She wanted to remember the short time they shared loving each other and not fighting. Bright could understand this, but it didn't make it hurt any less.
When Amy called him down for dinner, he said he wasn't feeling well so he could skip it. When Rose came up to check on him, she found him laying on his bed, unaware of her presence, reading love letters Hannah had sent him before the break-up.
"Reminiscing?", Rose asked her son gently, as not to startle him.
"Huh?" Bright asked after several seconds had gone by without a response.
"I said... oh, Bright, are you okay?"
"Well, it doesn't matter if I'm not does it? Because it won't make Hannah come back to me."
"Oh, honey... it will all work out. Don't worry. You'll find someone else. I promise. It may not make you forget about Hannah, and it may not be instantaneous, but it will happen."
"Thanks, Mom. But I don't want to forget about Hannah. I loved her, Mom."
"Oh, Bright," She mused as she leaned over to hug him, "I know you did, I know it. And not to ruin the moment, sweetie, but you father is taking me to the doctor tomorrow and we'll be there all afternoon. He forgot to bring me my medicine home tonight, so do you think you can pick it up from his office tomorrow? He hired a new girl to work the counter... her name is... oh, what is it? Oh, yes. Sara."
