Cubbie

"Mack, we've all be through this before, it's normal to have a crush every once in a while when you're in a relationship. I know I've been there, the fact that it happened isn't what matters, its normal, it's healthy, how you handle it is what matters," Coach said.

"So what do I do?" I asked. "What are my options?"

"Well, I've heard you talk to Ella on the phone, no offense, are you really happy with her?" Lee asked.

"I love her" I said.

"Not what I asked" Lee said.

"What did you do in this situation?" I asked Coach.

"You don't want my answer right now" Coach said.

"I do" I said.

"I reflected, made the decision to end my relationship, but I had genuine feelings for the other girl, you just met Cubbie, you're not there yet" Coach said.

"Well how'd it all work out for you?" I asked.

"Ask her yourself, she's standing behind you cooking dinner for our kids as we speak" Joe said. I looked back at the door she had just walked out, then looked back at Joe and Lee. "Had a feeling that one would scare you a little bit"

"He's not scared, he's reflecting" Lee said.

I have a feeling I'll be reflecting for the next month and a half.
