What the Greek Can't Resist

Perla's husband, who tormented her with lies and treachery, had just died, and for one night she wanted to forget everything. She met a man at a bar and gave him her virginity, something her husband never wanted. They spent a passionate evening together and forgot all their worries-they didn't even tell one another who they were. Eventually, Perla realizes that the man, Arion, is a Greek millionaire and an executive at the company where her husband was employed. They reunite at his funeral, both dressed for mourning...but perhaps Perla will find joy again one day.
