One Is Tardier Than The Other

(I’m boarding a plane tomorrow that will take me a thousand miles away from my fiancé for four months for an internship. We don’t know if we’ll get to see each other until the end of it. We’re both absurdly emotional today and know it’ll just be worse tomorrow. Today’s our last full day together, so we’re spending it just the two of us.)

Fiancé: “My brain keeps going through crazy scenarios.”

Me: “Like what?”

Fiancé: “Like if we stay home today, this day won’t happen and we can spend the day together tomorrow and then the next day you’ll be on the plane.”

Me: “Unfortunately, time doesn’t work that way, honey.”

Fiancé: “I know… darn it, where’s my TARDIS or my DeLorean?”

Me: *laughs*

Fiancé: “Or better yet, I’ll build a TARDeLorean!”
