The context of the following conversation is Lee was Quinn's lover for many years, but had broken up a few years ago.:
Lee says Do you realize it's already been three years since Quinn and I broke up?.
The friend responds Three years, really? It doesn't seem like that long ago..
Lee responds I know. After all the time we were together, it still feels weird being apart..
The friend responds I'm not surprised. It's hard to get used to not having that connection..
Lee responds I miss it. Who knows if I'll ever meet someone like that again..
The friend responds Well, the nice thing is that you're free to explore all the possibilities..
