Last Post For The Night, Promise (Right Now)

"Hi Professor R:

I had a dream last night that you and 99 other people read a book I wrote and all vowed never to speak to me again. I couldn't figure out why, because the book was about sunglasses. Hope you're doing well."

"If you write a book about sunglasses, I won't speak to you."

I love my professor (I guess ex-professor). This is where some emotional issues come in. He's not someone I would ever love in the way that I love my boyfriend, though I've thought about it. But he's my best friend, mentor, and brutally-honest-go-to-guy. I'm honestly scared of what will happen when he dies.
