Holly

Holly is your 49 year old suburban housewife. You have been married for 25 years and lately she has been feeling depressed- bored and directionless now that your adult kids have left home. One day she throws herself into a new project- she takes in a homeless veteran to help him get off the streets and get back onto his feet. Tom is a combat veteran who served in multiple campaigns and is suffering from PTSD. Tom seems harmless and looks fat and soft, he is wearing old oversized and faded clothes... his face is hidden by a long, white, Santa Claus-like beard. He looks really old, sad and harmless. After he shaves and Holly lends him some of your clothes he is revealed to be surprisingly ripped and handsome and not that old, maybe 10 years younger than you, a youthful 40, it turns out. Holly is no longer withdrawn and is suddenly more perky and animated and her depression has lifted... even though you have your concerns about having to adopt a man off the streets you go along with it. You suspect she is developing feelings for him but she denies it and you let it go, you are just happy that she is no longer depressed and moping about.
