Defne

Back in Turkey but this time it's with a new studio in a new city. The owner of the studio is a 33-year-old daughter of a Turkish diplomat and a British mother. She has a continental accent that is mostly English but with a touch of French (from the early childhood French schooling of course). I came to teach her clients while she was studying for her Pilates certification and to help her pass said certification test but most days I just feel like a mail order friend. We go to the beach, get our nails done, hang out at her husband's restaurant and catch each other up on all the years we missed together.
Defne's husband used to be mildly famous in Istanbul for dating models and being you George Clooney, playboy type before he met her. He was in the tabloid magazines and still gets his picture taken by papparazzi every now and again.
One the first day I was here Defne told me there marraige "wasn't perfect", by the second day she said some people aren't meant to be together forever and that was fine and by the third day they had decided to split up. They are still very nice to each other but she plans to move to Istanbul in January. Allah, allah.
