At 80 I fell in love with a 20-year-old man and invited him to live with me

  • About Richard?

  • Yes.

Sarah intervened:

We don’t know if they are authentic.

Jake turned to her.

That’s why I came.

I watched the envelope.

Give It To Me.

Sarah grabbed my arm.

  • Mom, no.

I've been free of charge.

It is my home. It was my husband. And it's my life. Give me the envelope, Jake.

There was a photo inside.

Richard.

  • Linda.

And I.

It was made in our garden eight years ago, just a few weeks before Richard died.

Behind the photo, Linda wrote:

“Margaret doesn’t remember.”

I felt a thrill.

What do I not remember?

Jake was lowering his eyes.

The night Richard died.

I knew the story.

Or I thought I knew it.

That night, Richard had a heart attack.

I had taken a sleeping pill for the doctor and slept upstairs.

In the morning, Sarah found me disoriented in the bedroom.

Richard was found lifeless in the office.
