Wow, I'm flattered by your words. Coming from you that compliment I feel very happy to read it.
As for my publication, I think it is a personal decision to want to grow old with someone else by your side.
Personally, I got used to living the way I do, I can't stand another person with me. I don't think anyone can stand me either. I am a good friend, a good cook, a good host, but that's it.
I will not criticize anyone, not even the many of my friends, those who have separated, those who want to be with a partner by their side, because they do not get used to being alone. As I told you, that is a very personal decision.
My story is a fictional theme, about a lady who has woken up from a lethargy and wants to have a second chance.
