After the Rainy Dusk

First person | Older woman/younger man romance

I don't know what kind of blurb to write for this story, so here's a short excerpt. I hope you like it.

"Anyi, the 21 paintings in this classroom represent the 21 months since I saw you again. I painted one every month, from October at the beginning through to today. Every time I painted, I wondered: if one day I had the courage to lay them all out before you, would you give me a chance? A chance to spend the rest of your life taking care of you."

Over the years I've spent writing, there have been so many times I've cried tears of joy for the protagonists.

This time, Anyi cried for her own happiness.
