[ Lucy's flat seems to have exploded. Things are stacked and piled seemingly at random. She's wearing a baseball cap backwards and she's got an old tee shirt on and cut off jeans. Her hair is in pigtails and there's a variety of cleaning products scattered about. She's right in the middle of a top to bottom cleaning and organization spree of her flat. She's sitting on the floor amongst a riot of books and knickknacks with a glass of something iced at hand. ]

Hi. So...this seems like an appropriate time to ask. I need opinions and sounding boards for likely highly illogical ramblings of the relationship kind.

Any and all applicants will be considered?

What are you gonna do?

I don't know. Talk to him, maybe? I mean...it's not worth making any kind of decision if he's not okay with giving me choices, you know?

Talking to him is a good idea. Maybe listen. See what he wants. What happens if he doesn't care, if he's fine with losing you one day? I know about walking away. I was with my girlfriend Allison on and off for a few months but stuff got bad. She went through some stuff. Blamed a friend of mine. She lost her mother. Her family hated me. By the end of it, we just both knew we had to take time.

[ She thinks about that a moment ]

So everything worked out until you arrived here?

No, we're not back together. She went away for the summer. But, we're friends.

I guess that's good. The still friends thing.

It is. [ They'll always have a connection, even a deep one, but it is better this way. They can't be together and they know it. ] Are you going to talk to your boyfriend?

[mightbeconcussed]

I think so. He wants to talk so...that's...worrisome, but it could also be good. [If she'll just embrace the here and now and not worry about the future. ]

Maybe it can't get worse? Since you already broke up?

video ][

[mightbeconcussed]

Well, probably not? I mean...maybe but no...you're probably right.

It doesn't hurt to try. [ An encouraging smile. ] Good luck!
