Traveling Woman Notices One-Room House by the Ocean and Man Who Lives There Leaves Every Night – Story of the Day
Lucy was a young widow in the middle of reviving her travel career when she spotted a mysterious man living in a one-bedroom shack on the coast. Her life transformed when she decided to follow the mysterious man.
Lucy was a 32-year-old widow and travel writer. She traveled the world for over 10 years with her late husband, a photographer. Since he had died three years prior, Lucy took a long break from touring. She recently decided to pursue her passion again and began with a small, gorgeous Canadian town.

“Do you know where he goes?” Lucy asked.
“No idea. People just can’t figure him out because he doesn’t interact with them much.” She shrugged then walked away.
