    No,no, no, no, NO! Little Claire can find another but she like him. Worst part was he went and said Something awful to her. No one should say “I was getting tired of you.”

    He shouldn’t have said that, but you can see how crossed-up he is by the background in the last panel.

    Coulda handled that better, Colm, but I get the feeling he wanted to spare himself drawing it out.

    Hopefully Colm won’t get “burned” by this decision later. :P

    I’m not Irish but his last line there really seems like a classic Irish expression to me. Is it?

    I think that boy is truly mixed up. And she’s gonna be a gorgeous girl when those braces come off & she will have so many guys panting after she’ll forget about Colm. He’s gonna regret that decision!

    DOn’t think he meant to or wanted to break her heart, but you always remember your first broken heart.

    He just didn’t want her to still be dreaming of him into her old age wasting her life. If so he was really a find.

    His comment in the penultimate panel is betrayed by the look in his eyes and by his body language as he slumps away. This forced breakup is hurting him too.

    If he is really going to have good money, he could have said I’ll see you in a couple of months, still, long distant relationships seldom work out.
