"I've always had a problem letting go of things," I say, playing with the cigarette-burned hole in my sofa. 

"Is that why you still talk to me?" she asks. 

I pause to think for a moment. The answer is so obvious, yet she asks it anyway. Of course, it is. My inability to move on is why I dial the same number every single day.  Yet at the same time, I feel like maybe I'm starting to let go. Maybe talking to her is actually helping me get over everything: helping me not hate work so much, actually take care of myself. I look at my kitchen, clean for the first time in a year and nod. Talking is helping, but I don't tell her that.

"Yeah," I lie, because saying I don't need her anymore is harder to do.

"So why did you ask me out?" I asked him. We were enjoying our food and small talking but I genuinely wanted to know. "My mom told me before she died to marry the woman who you can call your best friend." He told me. I started to blush. "That's really sweet Ty" I said to him. "I have a question for you too though," he said. I was chewing so I nodded for him to continue. "Did you only go on a date with me because of me helping you after. . ." He asked. I was hoping he wouldn't ask that. "The week before that night, I couldn't get you out of my head. So I started telling myself that I didn't need a partner because I am so successful on my own. After that night, with you helping me be okay, I realized that you are the partner I didn't need but the one I WANTED." I said to him.
