@ifarmgirl this was a very interesting and well-written story.
I can't imagine the angst that would result in being married off to a complete stranger. Your story self was very lucky in being paired with a good man and falling in love. As were your parents in the story.
I'm here on behalf of @dreemport and it's very nice to meet you!
Oh wow, thank you @blueeyes8960 for coming over. My imagination also had me while writing it. It could really be frustrating in real life. I was tempted to make the girl run away but ended up with this one. Thanks again and pleasure to meet you too
