Empowered, sure. But having a full on ocean between you and your boyfriend is still a sad thing. You're allowed to feel that. It doesn't make you weak. And it doesn't mean you won't go the distance.
[Because their feelings are their feelings, and if she's learned anything from her mother and her aunt, people do better when they're not trying to suppress them.]
Only that my life now revolves around my long-distance boyfriend. You're right. I can do sad. I do sadness. I have never been one to shy away from my feelings. But, maybe, tonight, we just table them. We party.
( Is that enough? Does that work for her? She loves that she has a friend and she's been counseled. But they're missing a Halloween party.
I think, it's Halloween, right? I promise I'm catching up. )

Alright, bet.
[She scans the room and catches an ascot out of the corner of her eye, and points to what seems like spare Shaggy and Fred.]
Want to go see if they're interested in completing their Scooby Gang?
[Hopefully the dudes won't be gross and they'll be able to make some friends.]
