This short story written by Pam Houston is one that shows how a girl can continue searching for love and still not find it. I myself can sympathize with this character. I am also in a search for love as are all guys and gals whether or not they admit it. As Moira states "Is Lucy so different from the rest of us?" She also quotes a very important passage in the story that makes us all think about what waits for us just around the corner. We all search for that one true love in our lives and Lucy just gives us insight into how her dating life has gone. Life usually isn't easy, and searching for love is one of the hardest things that we have to do in our day to day lives until that special someone is found. On that day we become complete. I am one that believes that there is one special someone out there for us, and until he or she is found, we continue to search like Lucy searches.
