A Major Connection (2015)
““Hey, what’s wrong?”
She blinked and forced a smile. “Nothing much. Just getting all caught up with Jane. As expected, my mom was on her case for daring to have a life that didn’t include jaunting to Europe or getting a doctorate in something that sounds fancy.”
“Huh?”

“How’s that?” He sat on the coffee table so he could sit facing her.
“My mother is of the opinion that marriage and kids are for when a woman turns forty. Youth is for living large and doing all the things she never got to do as a young woman.”
“Ah.”
“Yeah, ah.” She huffed, now seeming more irritated than sad, which relieved him.MoreLess
