Her Calculations

I have always believed that feelings can be calculated. So I dealt with men, exchanging smiles for resources and a sense of proportion for connections. Never get distracted and never let yourself suffer. Until I met him. He said. "I like you. You don't have to calculate, I won't let you lose." I told myself: Don't believe it. A tens-billion project lies ahead. I did some calculations - ten years less struggle vs. An uncertain "possibility". How do I choose? What if it was you? How do you choose?
