TRIGGER WARNING: Age Gap (will update as I write :) )
Alice Carrington, a 19-year-old writer, struggling with family trauma and a distant boyfriend meets Mark Caddel, a 46-year-old, divorced, banker with a lust for life. Slowly, they become each other's lifeline and this offered both of them strength to confront their past. Mark became a mentor of sorts, offering guidance in both life and writing. Alice found solace in his presence, a stark contrast to the emotional distance she felt with Jake. Conflicts arise and Alice has to make a choice. Will Alice stay with Jake and continue to feel completely unremarkable? Or will she choose a different path?
