“
i
don’t
know
how
to
ask
this
…i don’t
want
the
question
to
upset
you
,”
he
said
.
“
go
ahead
.”
“
do
you
think
that
all
this
could
be
a
midlife crisis?”
“
absolutely
,”
she
said
. “
that
’s crossed
my
mind
many
times
,
but
i
didn’t
know
if
that
was
accurate
because
technically
i
’m
not
near
midlife
yet
.
coming
close
to
turning
40
makes
me
feel
like
this
is
what
it
’s
about
.”
“
i
just
didn’t
know
if
you
would
find
that
insulting,
because
there
are
people
that
do
.”
“
i
mean
,
maybe
those
are
the
people
who
aren’t
really
conscious
about
why
they
’re
acting
the
way
they
are
;
which
is
not
to
say
i
have
it
all
figured
out
,
just
that
i
’ve
been
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to
it
.”
“
it
just
feels
like
this
whole
thing
is
bigger
than
you
and
me
,”
he
said
.
“
oh
,
it
is
.
i
feel
like
i
’m
trying
to
determine
what
i
want
the
next
half
of
my
life
to
look
like
,”
she
reasoned. “
that
’s
why
this
is
so
important
.”
