Short Story

Love is not part of their relationship anymore . Things change and they both changed

6 ) Near the end of the story , the man offers statements about change the woman replies `Yes , that 's true , only---` She does not finish . What do you thinks he intended to say , and why did she stop

It is hard to predict what the girl means and yet we can add a lot of opinions and interpretations to what she did not finish to say . At first we can easily say that what she was referring to was

only regarding the feelings of the man and yet what really she means to say is that if they could have took the time to hold on , they could have at least a time to understand each other and fix things between the two of them . However the girl did not finish her words anymore that what was left to the readers was a mystery . She may say different things and yet what happened was that she chooses to accept the story than to reason out her opinions of life , love and their family

7 ) The story 's title refers to an incident in the inner story . Explain how the title also refers to something much more important

The title is the same reason why the couple ended up letting go of each other . From the title itself , there is an understanding that there is a time of contemplation and realization that happened , which soon changed the lives of the characters . It was taken from the scene wherein the boy was sitting in his car and soon he realized something and the rest follows . It was a time of understanding that life was indeed unpredictable and he realized , things changed already
