My Diane

Her name was Diane Budgel. Thirty years ago, she was a small part in the life of Dave Mercer. Their short-lived, three month relationship was a whirlwind for Dave. They met in a bar and suddenly moved in together. Diane's roommate acted strange-perhaps jealous-which led Dave to believe she was a lesbian, in love with Diane as much as he was.

Then, on a visit to meet Diane's racist father in Nova Scotia, something mysterious happened, and Diane-who may have been married to someone else-became but a memory. The memory of her has not touched Dave's life in decades until he comes across poems he wrote during their brief romantic affair. He has more questions than answers and feels haunted by past decisions he made.

Now in his fifties, Dave looks back and wonders how a woman who touched his life for such a short time could have such long-standing effects. What was it about the mysterious Diane that first drew him to her, and why does she still linger in his thoughts? He must confront the mystery of the woman he loved and unravel what they were to each other or else he may be cursed to love a ghost for the rest of his life.
