I had arranged for my life to be as simple and unthinking as possible. I'd seen the way trying to keep things together had eventually made my Mother's heart give up. I swore I'd never let the same thing happen to me.
I chose my home to be near my job, I did meal preparation every weekend, I used clippers to shave my head myself, everything was designed to not have to think or stress, just drift through my life, relaxed and calm.
And then, just as things had gotten just right, and I was finally happy, I met her.
