Lucas p.o.v

Every relationship arrives at a critical moment, a juncture, between moving forward and moving on.

I call that moment the "so."

Flashback

" so where this going?" Stacy asked me and in the moment I'm never been more confused. " I think you're a... Like...I think you're amazing. I think you're an amazing girl. I...

I think you're an amazing person." I stumble on my words trying not to say the wrong thing. " no, I'm breaking up with you." Stacy told me as she got from where she was sitting on the chair in my bedroom. " You're breaking up?" I asked her still confusion what going on at the moment. " I'm sorry, Lucas, I need somebody who's ready. I need somebody who doesn't drink coffee out of a cereal bowl." She rant on about nothing really and I sat there dumbfounded. "what " I trying to read between the line, " And has a bed frame." She said before leaving the room. I wasn't confused

because she was breaking up with me.

"I'm so late for work." She said as toward the front door and I following her. I was confused because I had

no idea we were dating. "I'm not even close to the guy you need. The guy you deserve. Like... I'm... And I'm so sorry that I can't be that guy." I said trying let her down easily, because In her defense, we'd been having sex, like,

once a week for six weeks.

"I'm so late for work." She said again start to cry, and in my defense,

that's a hook up approaching the seeing stage. "I'm sorry, Lucas." No. I understand." I said as I hug her before handing her purse and open the door for her as she leaving. I understand.

And what I understood was, at that moment, we were definitely not dating. I thought to myself as my phone begin to ring.
