Hmm. How long... [She thinks] I think our first date was not long after I returned here. So perhaps...almost a year.
[she's been here that long. Almost a whole year and she didn't even notice. She tries to fight off the chill that comes with that thought. There is no need for it. There is nothing she can do about it. And time has no meaning here compared to there, so what does it matter?]
