Late in the Mist

This was originally opened in the wrong place, so I'll post it later instead.

Posting this short story to fill a gap. Feel free to remove it from your collection if that's an issue. Sorry about that.

Blurb:

At thirty, Li Chu divorced the man she'd been dating for four years and married to for eight. During the one-month cooling-off period, she went on a trip by herself.

On her travels, she met a man.

A romantic poet with a practical streak.

A year later, they met again.

Bad ending. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

Content warnings: Imperfect characters and plot; the female lead is not a virgin, while the male lead is; the female lead has a child with her ex-husband.

Theme: Never give up on growing, no matter when
