Helen has a secret that she plans to take to her grave. One that even years later would only bring heartache to Victor if revealed.

The silence of the night refuses to let Helen sleep and the loneliness reminds her of days gone by. She longs for the companionship and maybe something more in the hours before her body gives in to sleep. One morning after a fitful night, Helen awakes with a new resolve. Ask Victor over for dinner and ask him the question she's been putting off for months. Victor accepts her invitation to dinner and that evening over coffee, Helen leans in and whispers softly, "Would you like to share my bed at night?" At seven-two Victor is a little hard of hearing and thinks surely he's misunderstood her. Victor struggles to find his voice. "Why me?" he asks.

The answer to that question will put them on a path that neither of them thought possible at their age and give them the second chance they both deserve.
