t was a cloudless night. A fair weather for an old man to take a breather in the vast outdoors. The nurse wore a plain blue dress, sleeveless. Her hair tied up in a bun, the professional kind. On her face was very light makeup, and it was very flattering on her young and fair complexion. The knee-length dress proved to be a convenience when she helped her patient out of the car. Recovering from a stroke, her patient did not help himself, nor her, much as he exited the car. He was around 70 and age had carved itself on his face. Once upon a time, he was one of the most eligible bachelors in town, with both his looks and wealth. His father used to own an established recording company and he was among the elites in the music production community. However, all was gone. Still, life had been fair to him. After getting his share of the inheritance, he kicked off a new business with his wife, venturing into the world of Publishing. He was one lucky man. The business made it big, and his publishing company got famous, attracting many talented journalists and writers to want to be recruited under his wing. With the blooming operation he had at hand, life had gotten even better than before. Finally, at the age of 62, he announced his retirement, sold his share and landed himself a huge retirement dough to spend with his beloved wife.
