Cam smiles a little and nods to himself when Matt tells him that he'll get used to it. He's sure that's true. Boston took a while to adjust to, as well, when he'd first moved there. He doubts New York is going to be a whole lot different in that respect. It's intimidating right now because he's so new to the area, but eventually, he'll learn the fastest routes to where he's going, the best places to order takeout; the good bars to meet cute girls — or guys — without being in a seedy part of town. He'll get there, but Matt's reassurance does settle his nerves a little.
"I'm sure I will, it'll just take some time. I'll get there. I'm going to be here for the foreseeable future, in any case, so I certainly hope so," he laughs.
It's interesting to Cam that in a job interview the prompt to tell the interviewer about himself is followed by asking what made him move to the City as opposed to something about his work or educational history. "Oh, uh...my baby sister just got into NYU. I've been taking care of her pretty much her whole life, so...it felt right to come to the City with her. Our parents are around and everything, but I'm still more a mom and dad to her than our mom and dad have ever been, so it seemed like helping her transition without getting in her way would be the best course of action and moving with her to New York felt, to both of us, like the easiest way to do that, I guess."
Maybe they were a little codependent after all those years... It sounded so much better and less awkward in theory than when he said it out loud to someone who knew neither of them personally.
