Lesson 2

Divorced Woman

Four years ago, while I was working overseas, I

met a divorced woman with three children who
was working at a minimum-wage job. First, I was

impressed with her independence and strong
sense of responsibility. I became very close to

her and her children and we had a pleasant
time spending our summer vacation together.

As time went by, I found myself missing her so
much. In the end, I wrote to her and asked her

to marry me.
