Catherine
I thought I had it all, a loving husband, a good career as a school teacher, friends, family, the works, and then my husband of nearly twenty years left me for a college freshman. I realized then that what I thought I had wasn't what I wanted, what I dreamed of. Six months after our divorce was final, I won the lottery, giving me enough money to follow those dreams. I had come to China to experience something new, to find myself after years of being someone's wife. I hadn't planned on finding someone else in the process, especially not someone like Xie. Someone so young, so different from anyone I'd ever known. He was dashing, charming, and way too flirty. Too bad he was fifteen years younger than me, an actor, and lived in a social media fishbowl. I wanted no part of his glamorous life. I just couldn't seem to shake the memory of his gentle touch or the loneliness in his eyes. Xie

I lived life in the eyes of the world, every move calculated, every word provided by my PR team. Even my romantic entanglements were choreographed to advance my career. Nothing was mine, not even my dreams. Everything had to be strategically planned before hand...until her. Catherine rejected me, not once, but four times, and that intrigued me. She didn't care that I was the golden boy of the movie world. She didn't care that my fans would give up their lives for a chance meeting with me. She didn't even care that I was a successful actor. She looked at me and saw right through the carefully constructed persona I presented to the world and saw the lonely man behind the hype. I had no business pursuing her. Her mere presence was a media nightmare. I just couldn't seem to shake the thought of making her mine.
