Unfulfilled Needs
Start Reading Nancy’s Story Here.
“Its hopeless.” Nancy slouched in defeat.
Patrick disagreed. “Its not hopeless.”
“Look at her.” The girl’s blonde hair picked up the light, glistening all around her perfect face. Nancy’s own hair, she ran her fingers through her short curls, she looked like a boy after Stanley’s dreadful haircut. “She’s beautiful.”
“She is.” Nancy didn’t get the denial she hoped for.
“That’s what I said. Hopeless.” Why even try to compete for Ted’s attentions?
“Look, Nancy. I don’t know about this Ted guy and what’s going on in his head, but I do know that when I’m happy with something, I stop looking.”
“Hhhmmm…” Nancy considered that theory. Dating new people was a lot of work, very stressful. Would someone go through all that when they already had the perfect woman?
“Ted’s still looking.”
Was the perfect woman not even enough? “Maybe he’ll always be looking.” Never satisfied with one person. A player.
“And maybe he hasn’t found the right girl yet.”
Was she the right girl? Nancy wished… “What can I offer Ted that she can’t?”
“That, my dear Nancy, is what you have to find out.”
