Adriana was devastated when her husband took off on her. She was only 24 and very attractive, so it was hard to believe that he’d abandoned her for an older woman, someone he’d met at the Yoga classes he ran at the local community college.
Financially she was in the shit. He told her he couldn’t support two homes and so she’d have to sell their heavily mortgaged condo and he kindly agreed to let her have the pittance that would be left over when she’d paid the real estate, lawyer’s fees, and stamp duty.
She actually loved Gordie and she would have taken him back in a minute but that wasn’t in the cards. In the end she decided that if she rented the spare bedroom she might be able to just make ends meet.
It was only an fifteen minutes after she posted an advertisement on a grocery store notice board that a nice looking middle aged man turned up at the door.
“I’m sorry,” she said, “But I advertised the room for a woman.”
“Isn’t that illegal?”
“What could be illegal about it?”
