Guess the show and/or post your own:
I am a British woman living in the US, where I work as a live-in care assistant. A doctor hired me to look after his invalid father, who’s a bit of a crotchety old man, but very kind underneath. We’re both from working class backgrounds and seem to gel. My boss, and his younger brother, were privately educated and are a bit more ‘rarified’ (into fine wines, opera etc.), but I’ve grown very fond of them too.
After years of being unlucky in love, I’ve met a wonderful man and we’re engaged. I couldn’t have been happier. But I’ve just been hit by a huge bombshell. Whilst under the influence, my boss blurted out that his brother is in love with me and has been for years.
I was too shocked to speak. I’ve always been very fond of him, but never thought of him in a romantic sense. I can’t understand why he never told me - although for years he was trapped in a bad marriage to a high-maintenance, controlling woman who abused him financially. Now he’s free, I’m not. But I can’t stop thinking about him. I’m wondering, is my fiancé really the man for me - or is my boss’s brother the one?
To make things worse, since I got engaged, he’s become involved with someone else - a virtual carbon copy of his awful ex-wife. Whether or not I tell him how I feel, he’s heading for disaster. I can’t even talk to my boss about it as he was so out of it, he doesn’t even remember telling me! What do I do?!
