At the age of sixty-two, I spent the night with a man twenty-eight years younger than me. I did it because I was tired of being invisible and because, for once, I wanted to feel passion. But when I woke up alone in the hotel room the next morning, I discovered something scary...

An older woman sitting alone in a hotel bar.

Then he showed up.

His name was Julian.

He was thirty-four years old, tall, dark-haired and dressed elegantly. I had a smile that attracted attention naturally.

He stopped by my table and asked if the chair in front of me was free.

I was about to say yes.

And he sat down.

Julian didn't talk to me like I was old.

That was the first thing I noticed.

He looked me straight in the eye.

I listened when I was talking.

He laughed at the right times.

He told me that he was a photographer, who traveled frequently and loved old movies, quiet places and women with stories in his eyes.

I should have thought it was an absurd phrase.
