Sylvia, a 27-year-old assistant professor of art history, is fed up with love. For three years, she's been in a relationship with Edgar, who is as egoistical as he's unfaithful. All she wants is to be rid of her feelings for him, but she can't find a way out of this toxic relationship. When she gets dangerously close to a suicide attempt, she begs the heavens to free her from love. This isn't one of Armand's usual calls.

[WATTYS SHORTLIST 2022]Für Linda ist das Liebesleben gelaufen. Mit 42 Jahren hat sich die geschiedene Mutter einer erwachsenen Tochter damit abgefunden, dass sie ihre Chance auf Lust und Leidenschaft schon längst verpasst hat. Doch dann läuft ihr - im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes - Paul über den Weg. Schon bei der ersten zufälligen Begegnung auf der Laufstrecke springt der Funke über. Paul ist 37, sportlich, dazu noch attraktiv und äußerst charmant. Der Haken: er ist verheiratet und Vater zweier kleiner Kinder. Damit ist zumindest für Linda ein näheres Kennenlernen komplett ausgeschlossen, denn niemals würde sie etwas mit einem verheirateten Mann anfangen. Doch Lindas Gefühle weigern sich, in dieses Schema von Recht und Unrecht gepresst zu werden, und Paul scheint zudem einer heißen Affäre nicht abgeneigt. Als ihre Sehnsucht nach Leidenschaft überhandnimmt, gibt Linda seinem hartnäckigen Werben nach und stürzt sich kopfüber in ein erotisches Abenteuer, doch ein böses Erwachen scheint unvermeidlich. Denn auch für ein gebrochenes Herz ist man mit 42 noch nicht zu alt. -----Abgeschlossen (ca. 75.000 Wörter)-----🔞 WARNUNG: Diese Geschichte beinhaltet explizite sexuelle Situationen und ist NUR für erwachsene Leser (18+) geeignet!…
