Birthday by Jana Egle
Laine looks at the attractive man sitting across from her and cant decide: does she like his forwardness or not? But shes been single for so long, maybe its worth trying again. Her husband left over ten years ago, and she hasn't really dated since...
If this one doesn't work out either, then she'll keep living like she has been, but if it does work out? Severns notices her lingering stare, and his lips once again stretch out at the corners. It must really be his smile, then.
She likes it better when he doesn't smile.
A design-firm employee who finds herself dating a potential sociopath, a woman suffering a terrible loss and having to find the strength to ask for help, the navigation of a mental health crisis, the fears of old age, revisiting a past love, Egle explores these universal themes, and more, with a scalding, narrative realism that leaves your skin crawling and your mind begging for more.
