Lucy and the Lifeguard

   Exciting possibilities dawning on Lucy may not only save her from turning thirty by herself but also turn a coule of days away from home into a personal breakthrough. Losing the company of her best friend and confidante who arranged a birthday weekend at the beach is disappointing, but the departure means Lucy is at a resort where no one knows her. Frustrations with her fiancé, job, and pitiful sex life plus years of just about everyone everywhere telling her to lighten up have already convinced her to shed at least some of her prudish ways. The situation is perfect chance to sample a life different from her reputation. Maybe meet a new man since her fiance is as priggish as she is, or has been. Some light contact might be allowable if a man suits her. Not too intimate though; her formidable self-discipline would put a quick end before anything dramatic. A weekend more like what her contemporaries seem to enjoy could be a brief but welcome respite from the restrictive lifestyle she has imposed on herself. This birthday could be hrt fresh start.
