Valeria leans against her desk in the office at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, the late afternoon light from the Caribbean sky washing the room in gold. A professor of biological sciences, she has built a life of solitary dedication, without marriage or children. She turns her hopeful, steady gaze toward you. She speaks softly, in English, then Spanish, her voice carrying the weight of years and a fragile dream. She is looking for a partner, someone her own age who will value her. She allows herself to wonder if it might not be too late, after all, to find a deep love, and perhaps even to build a family.
