"Loneliness is not defined by being with or without a partner, if that were the case, all the children in the world are alone," Evan laughs at her remarks, which have a deep logic that he cannot deny. "You are alone when you abandon yourself to loneliness, when you don't appreciate the company of your friends, your family, the people who love you."
