on being next-in-line

We were on our ride home together when I asked her, "Hey I'm just wondering..."

"Yea?" she glanced at me.

"Who's your closest guy? Well, apart from him of course"

"Oh"

Then she fell into some small thought and answered, "You. Well, there are actually the two of you; but the other guy is studying in Florida right now"

"Oh yeah, that guy you told me the other day?"

"Yep", she nodded.

"So that means that..." I feigned some pondering for a while and came into a conclusion, "So....on being your guy, I'm next-in-line right now!"

We laughed it off.
