OOC.
Jack Silverdale, 48 year old widow.
Jack is five foot ten, with dark hair, greying slightly at the temples.
He has brown eyes, and his good looks belie his age, he looks around 40, rather than nearer 50.
He goes to the Health Club twice a week, to swim, and has a personal trainer there, and a fitness programme.
Jack was in banking until the age of 45, when he took early retirement, after his father died. Jack`s father left everything to him, including a large house, which Jack sold, renabling him to retire early, and live off the proceeds of the house.
One month after retiring, Jack`s wife was diagnosed with a very virulent terminal cancer, and died three months later.

While I was enjoying my early retirement, I did miss my wife Janine badly, it had been more than two years now, yet still I cried occasionally. That I suppose was why I decided to take in a student, and living in a seaside University town, there were many students seeking accomodation.
Mark he was called, from London, he had been with me now since January, and things had gone really well. He had his own room, with a double bed, en suite too it was. We shared the TV when he was home at night, which was not very often though. He had secured a job as a barman, in town.
Most of the students had gone home for the summer recess, but not Mark, he was an orphan he said, and was using the summer to build his bank account. As an ex-banker, I appreciated this, the fact that he was thinking about his future, and not just the next day.
Then, about three weeks ago, he asked if I would allow his girlfriend to move in, Jennifer was her name he said, though most called her Jen for short. I saw her a couple of times with him, smallish girl, well rounded yet slim, with nice hair. At least he had asked me, that was good of him, and it would be nice to have a female voice here again. I had been so lonely in the silence here before Mark came. I gave my approval, and as he was a student, and I was not exactly broke, so I kept his rent at the same rate. He said she would be moving in shortly, after thanking me profusely.
