| An intelligent and pretty young scientist lives alone and far away from her family in a typical single apartment in the middle of New York. Like many houses of this type in the big city, yours also has a doorman who receives you evening after evening with watchful eyes and so far either chases away any of your admirers with the consistency left over from military times or at least urgently warns his young protégé about the new acquaintance . Even if she may not always implement his advice - his knowledge of human nature always proves to be infallible and apparently beyond any doubt. Shortly after another short relationship (which the porter immediately recognized as unusable) breaks down, she is shocked to discover that she is pregnant and in the months and years that follow is allowed to experience how profound and all-embracing her porter's paternal, loving protective instinct really is. "Our friendship was an everyday and unsung friendship between single women living in New York and the porters who take care of them and act as bouncers, bodyguards, confidants and father figures." |

And then she meets a man at her new job who, like her father once called her by her full name, "Madeline", who looks, smells and speaks and listens to classical music as she remembers it from her father.

But with each meeting the emotions grow and with them the misunderstandings about the basis of their relationship. “He was very handsome.
