Up until that moment, I’d avoided love, heading swiftly in the opposite direction if I met someone I was attracted to. And then I met Bhima, who invited me to go on a walk with him in the snow. “I’ve had one short American marriage and several American girlfriends," Bhima told me. And there we both were, in our 50s, fully in love for the first time in our lives with someone who “got” us. We called the doctor, who told Bhima to go to the medical center to take a COVID test.
