Sometimes the love for all ages is not your own, but one that teaches you what love should be like. A man is telling a story in a restaurant that a graphic novelist is to draw. It is a love story, but not his. Instead it is about an older couple he met as a child who stayed with him in his life and heart past their death. These two souls who were with each other through thick and thin, whose love of books kept them happy and provided a living. This story is lovely, and funny. I think the ending is abrupt, but it works. Plus I want to know if the house really blew up???
