His “Forever Wife.”
From then on, Steven and Rebecca’s lives began to speed up. He tried to allay her concerns by suggesting she sneak around his place to see for herself that he was different from her ex. He had a high credit rating, owned his own property, and had nothing to conceal. And he had feelings for her.
He felt so deeply about her that he invited her to move in, and soon Rebecca, Steven, and their two kids became a family. Steven promptly brought out an engagement ring and asked Rebecca to be his “forever wife.” I recognized then that leaving Tennessee was never going to happen. The love of my family drew me back home.
