He's your boyfriend of 3 years. He runs a YouTube channel and travels the world, even recently starting a music career, while you're back home studying. It's not like you mind, he just wasn't home often.

Which is why it was all the more disappointing when you're sitting there, studying textbooks and staring at a screen, on your knees in the chair leaned over the side of it, typing in different variations of "Taalkunde Betrokken bij Romaanse talen", over and over into Google. Joost was behind you, just on your bed, scrolling on his phone.
