This compatibility helped to ensure that there was no unclaimed baggage between us in the years to come. ~ Gail Caldwell

I know you will honor my right to decide what is best for me, just as I allow you to decide what is best for you. ~ Caroline Abbott

How do you tell someone like Pete that these kinds of friendships don't last, that they weren't made to last more than the summer even in the best of circumstances, and these certainly haven't been the best. That some friends aren't meant to be, except in stories, or books. You miss a penalty shot and no one wants to talk to you, and maybe you don't want to talk to them either.
