They had married for love, but the cultural gaps remained. They never could adopt each other’s way of life. Strangely, she remained fixated in her childhood years, the time of her life she cherished so much. The nursery prints she wore, the bread-butter-jam and tomato ketchup meals she had and using outdated brands all spoke of an obsession. She had retained all the soft toys and doll-houses she could in the bedroom.

Alex was justifiably worried. She was all of 62 years old.
