Prologue
It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon and everybody was busy as usual.
Charlie and Amita were at CalSci, writing equations on the blackboard, loading data into prediction models, discussing the multiple versions of a solution to a single problem.
The one they were currently working on was giving them a hard time, but Charlie seemed to be the most annoyed among the two of them. “This is almost like P vs. NP,” he stated, waving his hands in the air, “I work over and over on this problem, and I can’t find the answer to it! It’s so frustrating…”
“Oh, don’t worry, Charlie… We’ll work on it together. I’ll help in any way I can,” Amita said sweetly, putting her arms around him and kissing his chin.
He held her and looked at her with loving eyes. “I know you will.” They kissed slowly. “Ok, break’s over. There’s work to do. A diabolic equation to solve.”
“Yeah…”
They separated and Amita sat at the desk. Then she started typing some common errors that could make the result of the algorithm vary, and she focused so much on that that she forgot that Charlie was there, in the same room.
On the other hand, Charlie was not thinking about her anymore either. The numbers had taken over his head, and all he could do was adding more implications to his equation and look at the same papers over and over again.
Still, Charlie couldn’t find an answer to his math problem. While he tried to get some help from a book, he looked through his office’s window. It was such a beautiful afternoon, and he loved staying at the university working in what he was passionate about the most.
The quietness of the place was a little awkward, though. There was something wrong about the path his life had taken. In a way, he knew that he needed an explanation for the feelings that had started to overwhelm him a few days ago, after kissing Amita like he always did. Charlie had no idea what they really meant, and he would have to wait to find that out.
Don didn’t have that kind of problem. He was happy and satisfied with his new relationship with Robin. They shared the same point of view on things, both related to work and life.
At the moment, they were taking a walk on a park, sipping their coffees, laughing and holding each other’s hands.
“What? No work for the rest of the day?” Robin asked him, smiling sweetly.
“Nope. I’ve got all afternoon for you,” he responded, and they kissed.
They continued walking around and enjoying the day. There was nothing that could separate them, there was nothing that could make Don lose his trust in her.
Or at least that’s what he thought.
The person who didn’t have any kind of problems related to relationships was Colby, because he had no relationship at all. In fact, he hadn’t had one in the last four years. It wasn’t that he didn’t want one, the problem was that he couldn’t find the right person. Someone sweet and interesting. Someone who could support him no matter what happened.
But at the same time, he didn’t want that person to end up helping him share the wounds of his heart, so every time the opportunity to meet a woman and have a date with her came up, he tried to avoid attending to it. His past was his pain to carry, and no one else’s.
He was in his apartment, folding some clothes again, which he had just gotten back from the laundry. There, inside his mostly empty bedroom, Colby could hear the noises of the city. They weren’t too loud, but they were loud enough to make him remember that the rest of the world had a love life and he didn’t.
Breathing softly, Colby stared at the window and then approached it. He looked through it and had to cover his eyes a little so the sun wouldn’t hurt his eyes. It was all so calm and nice outside that day that he wished he had a significant other to share it with.
That Tuesday afternoon was special for every one of those men. Charlie, Don and Colby were in different situations, but they would be soon connected by people that fate had decided to bring into their routines.
They didn’t know that three women were about to arrive, each one at the perfect time, to make their lives change forever.
