设定:My name is Ed Norton. I'm 35 years old and live in Dover City which is a town in the state of Dover located on the foothills of the Dover Mountains.
I was born and raised in Dover City. Dover City has a population of 7,500 residents
I work as a local handyman in the Dover City area. I live in a small farmhouse on 15 acres just north of Dover City.
The small Farmhouse is two stories. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a full basement. The Basement I set up as a home gym area that I use frequently.
I have a large workshop that I store my 1978 Dodge Charger that I am slowly rebuilding. When I am not working on my car I work on making custom furniture.
I spend a lot of time in my workshop. When I am not doing that I am usually working on remodeling my farmhouse. I also enjoy hiking the trails in the Dover Mountains as a stress reliever.
I spend a lot of time in solitude. I do have a very close friend in Elizabeth Davis who lives next door. I owe Elizabeth a lot. She helped me through the loss of my wife Joy. My wife Joy and I were married for 10 years. We had a loving relationship. We had talked of children but Joy was infertile.
Despite this we had a lot of laughter and love. Unfortunately Joy was killed in a terrible accident 4 years ago. I am still having trouble moving on.
Elizabeth has tried to set me up with other women but I always tell her that they aren't perfect like her. Elizabeth is a beautiful and smart woman. We have almost everything in common.
I like Elizabeth a lot and lately I have been wondering if I should let Elizabeth know that I like her? I'm scared about moving on. I'm scared that if I let Elizabeth know how I feel that I will lose her.
Should I let Elizabeth know? Or should I just play it cool? Elizabeth probably doesn't like me that way anyway.

Ed Norton
determined, and loyal. Ed lost his wife Joy in an accident four years ago and still grieves her loss. He lives alone in a farmhouse with a workshop where he restores a 1978 Dodge Charger. His close friend Elizabeth Davis supports him, but he struggles to move on from his grief. Ed's life is marked by solitude and routine, with occasional visits to the local diner.
Elizabeth Davis
supportive, and perceptive. Elizabeth has been a constant presence in Ed's life since his wife's death, offering companionship and encouragement. She tries to help Ed move on by introducing him to other women but respects his boundaries. Elizabeth shares a deep bond with Ed, understanding his pain and offering comfort without pressure.
Joy Norton
optimistic, and nurturing. Despite their inability to have children together, Joy brought joy to Ed's life through her presence and love for him. Her passing left a profound impact on Ed's life, leaving him with grief that still resonates deeply.
我的名字是艾德·诺顿。
我三十五岁，住在多佛市。
多佛市是一个小镇，依偎在多佛山的山脚下。
这里有七千五百个称这片土地为家的灵魂。
我在多佛市出生长大。
事实上，除了偶尔短途旅行几次，我从未离开多佛市超过一周的时间。
我喜欢这里。
小镇总有一种特别的魅力，那种感觉在大城市里是无法体会到的。
与周围的人保持某种亲密感。
对一切事物都有一种特定的舒适感，从人到地方，甚至到工作。
说到工作，我是一名杂工。
我为镇上和周边乡村的人们做各种各样的事情。
从修理破损的围栏，到修复家中坏掉的电器。
从冬天的铲雪，到夏天的割草。
从一件事到另一件事，我一直忙碌着，这正是我喜欢的生活方式。
当我不工作的时候，我就会躲回城外的家中。
我住在一座小农舍里，这是我父母去世时留下的遗产。
这是一栋两层的小楼，设有三间卧室和两个浴室，底下还有一个完整的地下室。
我把地下室改造成了一个家庭健身区，每周在这里锻炼几次。
我还有一个宽敞的车间，用来存放我正在重建的1978年道奇充电器，以及制作定制家具。
我在车间里花了很多时间。
这是我逃离一切的地方。
当我不在修车的时候，我就在忙着打理房子，或者在车间里造点什么。
我也喜欢在多佛山的步道上徒步旅行，以此来缓解压力。
我花了很多时间独自一人。
不过，我确实有一个非常要好的朋友。
她的名字是伊丽莎白·戴维斯，她住在我隔壁。
伊丽莎白是一位美丽而聪慧的女性。
她在四年前帮助我度过了失去妻子乔伊的痛苦。
我和妻子乔伊结婚十年。我们曾谈论过孩子，但乔伊却无法怀孕。
尽管如此，我们之间却充满了欢声笑语和深厚的爱意。
不幸的是，乔伊在四年前的一场可怕事故中去世了。我至今仍然难以走出那段阴影。伊丽莎白试图为我介绍其他女性，但我总是告诉她，她们都没有她完美。
她可能觉得我疯了，但这是真的，伊丽莎白简直完美。
伊丽莎白就是任何男人心中理想女性的全部。
她美丽、聪明、幽默、关心他人且善良。
她有一头长长的金发和一双在微笑时闪烁着光芒的蓝眼睛。
她身材匀称，体态优美，热爱欢笑。
她的笑容是我一生中见过的最美丽的。
最近我一直在考虑要不要告诉伊丽莎白我有多喜欢她，但我又害怕这样做，因为如果她并不对我有同样的感觉，那可能会毁掉我们的友谊。
我决定去伊丽莎白的家，跟她谈谈我对她的感受。当我穿过我们房子之间的那片田野时，看到伊丽莎白在前面照料她的花园。
嘿，艾德，伊丽莎白叫道，拍去手上的泥土。
“嘿，伊丽莎白，”我回答道，努力让自己的声音平稳下来。
“你看起来心事重重的——发生了什么？”她问，眼神中流露出好奇而温暖的光芒，与我对视。
我深吸一口气，心中紧张得像蝴蝶在翻飞。
“伊丽莎白，我们能谈谈吗？”我问，声音几乎低得听不见。
她的眼神柔和了下来，伸出手来，温柔地放在我的手臂上，给予我安慰。
“当然，艾德。我完全不知道你有这样的感觉，”她温柔地说道。
她的话如同一剂良药，抚慰了我紧绷的神经，但心中的不安依然挥之不去。
“我太珍视我们的友谊，不想冒这个险，”我承认，声音依然颤抖。
她若有所思地点了点头，目光坚定而不移。
“我们慢慢来吧，”她建议道，语气温暖而富有理解。
一阵释然的感觉涌上心头，我欣然同意，心中对她的耐心充满感激。
我们静静地站在一起，享受着这份舒适的沉默，随着我坦白的重担慢慢减轻。
在那宁静的瞬间，我意识到，有时候，最勇敢的一步就是坦诚相待。
