[ He's not entirely sure why he's telling her, since she's not living here anymore. Maybe part of it is because he knows she's living with one of Vanya's brothers, but mostly maybe it's because he's suddenly feeling kind of lonely when he wishes he was feeling more relieved to not be enveloped in Vanya's anxiety in the absence of Laura's cheer to balance it.
In short, Caleb doesn't know how to feel, he just knows he's not loving how it feels to have to feel his own emotions for a change because they're strangely harder to read than everyone else's at this point. ]
[Laura's stomach sinks as she reads the words from Caleb - and she's almost positive that that feeling comes from both the fact that this leaves the teenager alone in that apartment....and because of the fact that it's Vanya who is gone. How is Derek going to feel about that? How is Diego going to feel about that? She's an important person, even if it's complicated, to both of her boys.
And the fact that poor Caleb is alone now in the apartment without anyone to keep him company, look after him, or anything makes Laura feel protective.]
Thanks for telling me, Caleb. I'm sorry, kiddo.
I hate that you're alone - and that she's gone. How are you holding up?
It's fine. It's not like we were super close or anything. I guess I figured Derek and Diego would do better hearing it from you than from me is all.
[ And now he's going to have to learn how to use the coffee maker because Vanya won't just be making pots of it anymore, but there's also always Soul Full Cup for that, in a pinch. ]
I'm okay. I'll just see if Steve wants to come over.
[ Or move in... ]
It does suck that she's gone though. I liked Vanya.
Even without being super close it still sucks. And I'll definitely let them know.
[Laura can't help but worry about Caleb, after living for him for months....kinda comes with the territory]
Okay, but don't be a stranger - I'm around, and I want to have you over for dinner soon, make sure that you're eating good. I liked Vanya too and just because I've moved out doesn't mean you're rid of me, for the record.

Just, I don't know. Thought you should know.
