Prologue

Drew Singleton is a singular individual who relies on nobody but himself and is happy that he has no-one that he is directly responsible for. He is satisfied with this completely independent way of life. Although he enjoys keeping his own company for more than half his time, he does also enjoy regularly socialising with friends too; and indeed he does have a number of long-time friends, who he cares for, including a best female friend he has known almost since birth. However, he has never had a partnership relationship with anyone nor has he ever considered maintaining a one-on-one relationship for longer than a few weeks or even days and certainly never considered seeking a partner for life.

In his late teens and early 20s, ten to fifteen years ago now, he indulged himself with a number of sexual one-night stands but this selfish activity soon palled and for many years he relied on a small circle of friends with benefits, none of which have sought to impose on Drew’s preferred singularity.

Personally extremely wealthy, the only child of equally fabulously wealthy parents, Drew has never had to worry about money, nor has he ever cared to entertain any doubts or fears of an unsettled or lonely future. He feels very much in control of his own destiny.

He is so certainly sure of his impervious single life that any serious change to his singularity was never even considered a remote possibility.

However, let us join Drew Singleton as he tells his truly singular story in his own words.
