A widowed office manager nearing retirement falls for a young clerk half his age, and for a few stolen months his grey life catches fire, until she suddenly dies and leaves him alone again with his diary.

In only six months and twenty-eight days I'll be in a position to retire.
The Truce, Mario Benedetti
