Tonight's encounter is with a married woman I met through an affair site. She has a pure, gentle demeanor, and her faintly lonely smile leaves a strong impression. The reason she turned to the affair site was to escape the emptiness she feels in her marriage. Her husband is a workaholic, routinely coming home late at night. Even on weekends, he's occupied with work-related socializing, constantly going out for golf and similar outings. Ever since they married, they've grown increasingly distant, making daily life painful for her. Yet, her loneliness stems from an even deeper source—something that happened in her childhood, which continues to affect her to this day.
