Sasa’s Love Story.

Is she a lover or a helper?

Is Sasa a lover or a helper?

Sasa could not answer this question until she found herself in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a local hospital. And friends, colleagues, and family members could not answer the question either.

Sasa walked into a prestigious college she never dreamed of attending. She observed with awe the lines of attractive green trees with massive green space. She felt relaxed, and calmness rushed through her body; she patted herself on the shoulder and made her parents proud.

She moved into the dormitory room she shared with the daughter of a former impeachment counsel.

Sasa excelled at academics, but her social life was a disaster.

She made it out of college with flying colors. However, it was so strange she didn’t have dates like her friends. Almost everyone in her small class dated and had fun.

After much soul searching, she discovered that all the dating partners were from similar parental backgrounds — financially and professionally. There were the children of highly regarded scientists, lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, technology executives, and millionaires.

Sasa was an outlier from a middle-class family who lived in a small town.

It was fascinating because dating partners in her class did not discriminate among races or nationalities, but she observed love among everyone was overwhelmingly based on class.

She learned a powerful lesson from college and her classmates. After college, she had high hopes that she could find a partner in graduate school or work.

Sasa went to law school and continued to hope for a stable relationship, but no luck after more than a decade as an attorney.

Most of her college friends married and had children. One thing was sure: she had a high-powered job and continued to date here and there, but nothing interesting for a long-term relationship.

Decades passed quickly, and she was desperate and in denial of her desperation when getting together with friends or relatives.

She wanted someone to share her life with, but finding a tasteful partner was getting more difficult. She didn’t need someone to care for her but did not know if she wanted to care for a partner.

Sasa was the only child of her parents and didn’t have money problems.

She lived a simple life, drama-free, and had a nice income. She took the train to work and used the car to run local errands. Things were easy and fabulous, but she had no one to share her dreams, fears, and aspirations.

Singleness was somewhat torn on her flesh.

Then, on her forty-first birthday, she met a man, Luke, on the train back from work. Instantly, she fell for a well-dressed, polite, and well-spoken man.
