I don't know whether I should be doing the sappy kind of awing over you two in love or the sad kind of awing over you in different places right now. [That can be so hard. It can scare the other person off instead of catch them up.] A little bit of both? I'm really happy for you and really sorry she's not... wait, run away with you?

Do you mean like a romantic escapade or was there something to run from?
