Two of Us with author Kylie Scott, and moral philosophy researcher Hugh Breakey | GoodWeekendMag
Kylie Scott, 46, is a plot-driven, bestselling fiction writer. Hugh Breakey, 49, is a deep-thinking senior research fellow in moral philosophy. Their differences keep them talking and learning – and happily married.
Our first date was in an inner-city Irish pub. I’d always thought Hugh handsome, but was also very attracted to his kindness and his creativity. We talked for hours about movies and the scripts he’d been working on and theatre shows he was directing since finishing his arts degree. The chemistry between us was intense. That night, I went back to his house – and never left. We married in 2000.
Our paths crossed again when she came back from London. Listening to her talking in the back of my car about living in London and travelling through Europe, she seemed so grown-up and worldly. I suggested we catch a movie, as a first date: she preferred to find somewhere in the city where we could talk – which we did for hours. I didn’t ever want to stop talking to her.by Jostein Gaarder.
