O Friend, Where Art Thou?

I am thinking of my friend S. A week ago he called from France, in the midst of a relationship crisis with his girlfriend L. They had been together for a year and seemed really really happy, to the point where they moved to France together, so this came as a bit of a shock. We spoke for about an hour before the call was dropped.

The next day S flew back into NYC, contemplating the end of his relationship. We traded long emails. He was really distressed. I talked about my perspective on things, based on my experiences with various exes. He was upset about how things turned out but obviously still very much in love with L.

And then haven’t heard from him in 5 days.

Is he back in France? Are they still together and working things out? I hope so, and hope that he is well.
