Splitting

Thanks for the response, Christy.

When you focus on that "indifference"  of "C'est la vie" it certainly appears to be a very bleak prospect.

It's worth pointing out that much of this is conjecture - "Perhaps" and "But if.."

a sort of worse-case scenario...prompted by the split of the other couple...I think the "fabricated" future is indeed a reaction to this possible bleak indifference (as you suggest)...and what's being fabricated?...a distant future where they (the couple) might meet again as strangers and begin all over again...a rather forlorn little hope but a positive of sorts...
