One day, in walks Timna, who from the beginning appears to enchant Sima. When Timna returns another day asking for work, she is hired. The two develop a friendship and spend time talking. Lonely Sima begins to obsess over Timna and her lifestyle. Soon she is following Timna to see where she goes and who she is seeing.

Sima learns that in life there are always second chances, for those willing to take them; that it is not too late to try. Here is a story about life, love, regrets, friendship, business, obsession, shame, fear and marriage. It makes for a good read.
