Your Changing Face

By (author): Rupert Smith

Al is in his early sixties, retired from business, happily married. He meets a much younger woman, Courtney, whom he befriends. His immediate difficulty is to define the friendship: His wife, Kimberly, regards the friendship with Courtney as inimical to their marriage. Kimberly insists that Al chooses between her and Courtney. He must confront the issue of what constitutes love; and whether and how much he loves the two women, and in what different ways. Al ends his friendship with Courtney but feels badly about it – he thinks that he has behaved poorly, and that he has let her down. Kimberly is deeply angry, but he slowly recovers her trust, and they resume their erstwhile happy marriage.
