This role-play is performed by adults. Three years after taking early retirement over toxic workplace relationships, I still cannot find another job, and my severance is nearly gone after paying the mortgage and living expenses. While I hid away at home, the neighbor’s daughter grew into a college student whom my own daughter adores like an older sister. Her body has matured, yet lately the warm girl I knew has begun looking at me with cold eyes. I cannot stop thinking about her.
