Someone to Watch over Me – 1
It’s not that Tina Kennard was bored or unsuccessful. She wasn’t particularly lonely, no more so than most other people, and she wanted for nothing. The contrary. She’d gotten all the things she’s set out to achieve. She had a good job, a comfortable life with plenty of vacations, a group of intelligent friends who would have taken a bullet for her – and she for them- and a dog who loved her unconditionally. And yet she was unhappy.
Something was missing, an element she never quite figured into her plans or specifically looked for. She never quite saw her way to finding love, and at 35, she finally found herself aware of just what it was she was missing.
Every morning at 6 am sharp, Tina woke up and took her dog for a walk in Central Park. She was a professor of film history, not a particularly glamorous job, but the one she’d always wanted nonetheless. She was well liked by her students, some never failing to take every class she offered during their stay at the university. After her classes, she went home to an over enthusiastic Yorkshire terrier named Yankee and worked on her books. Every weekend she saw her friends, and they got together and complained or bragged about their jobs. At night, she returned home yet again, took the dog out for the night, showered, brushed her teeth, crawled into her empty queen sized bed, cozying into the cool sheets, drifting off to the familiar dialogue, “You don’t want to be in love, you want to be in love in a movie.”
Maybe it was true. She never looked for love, and it had yet to look for her. She’d dated, rarely, and had one or two people claim they loved her. But, in the end, it was just never right. They were too cheery, too optimistic, too sure of her stability, too beautiful, not smart enough, didn’t challenge her, and a list of other attributes that left them in the dust. Most of all, they were passionless in every aspect of their lives except in bed, the one place where it mattered the least to her. C’est la vie. She figured if love was meant to happen to her, it would, and, it not, she would keep on as she always had, living for herself… and her dog. So far, it’d been working famously.

You say you’ve already written it, so where is it? Hopefully Bette has a dog, or they meet at the school, club, bakery, wherever, I just can’t wait for them to meet. Tina is so lonely, and she’s right in waiting, because even though she doesn’t know it yet, her one true love is on the way. RIGHT???
