Chapter One – Learning
Life has a funny way of taking you in directions you never expected to go in. You think you're ready for anything; that you're paying attention; that nothing will pass you by and then, suddenly, you realise you've been drifting. Something happens that wakes you up – by slapping you across the face - and everything you apparently didn't see for the last twenty years floods your mind.
Once you've recovered from the shock, you try to process the information. Perhaps working your way through it all, methodically and particularly, will bring forth another interpretation; lead you to a different conclusion. But, when you're halfway through your memories, it's not looking like that will happen. In fact, you are now even more convinced that it's the truth, and reliving and remembering are only highlighting the feeling. So the question now is… can you continue to ignore it?
Very few questions have ever been so easy to answer. You can't think of one happy memory from the last twenty years that doesn't involve her. And she's there to comfort you in most of the sad memories as well. There's no way you can ignore it any longer… and you wonder why you didn't see it sooner.
Every day you think about her when you wake up, and when you go to sleep, and you would willingly spend each and every minute thinking about her if you could. You're in love, obviously, and the object of your affection is about to walk out of your life. Perhaps you shouldn't be standing around in your office thinking.
