But Sally is single, so that’s what people see. If there’s something wrong with not having the things she wants yet. They make Sally wonder if there’s something wrong with her. Their questions and looks and pats on the arm all make Sally sad. Not, “How’s work” or “How’s book club?” or “Any plans for the weekend?” They see her single first they don’t see Sally. “Are you seeing someone, Sally?” That’s what they always say.

She has friends and family and everyone loves Sally. She lives her life and works at her job and pays her taxes and hosts book club every other Tuesday. Sally thinks she wants something average, something everybody gets. That doesn’t sound like too much to ask, to me. She wants a house, a husband, a dog and she wants to smell the sea. That’s what Sally wants, she doesn’t want less. She wants a house and a husband and a dog, and when she steps outside she wants sea air to breathe. Sally wants to live in a little house by the sea.
