Amber had given up on love until she met Steve, her father’s old friend, at a BBQ. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage, and everything seemed perfect—until their wedding night revealed an unsettling secret that changed everything.
As Amber arrived at her parents’ house, she was greeted by the familiar chaos of a family BBQ. Her father introduced her to Steve, a ruggedly handsome man with warm eyes that sparked an unexpected flutter in her heart. Despite her reluctance to pursue love, the connection was undeniable.
After the BBQ, when her car wouldn’t start, Steve offered to help. With a simple fix, he not only got her car running but also asked her out for dinner. Amber, drawn to him, agreed, marking the start of a relationship that felt right.
Fast forward six months, and Amber stood in front of the mirror in her childhood bedroom, dressed in a wedding gown. At the altar, she felt a calm certainty as she and Steve exchanged vows, finally becoming husband and wife.
But that night, Amber was stunned to find Steve talking to someone who wasn’t there. When she confronted him, he revealed he was speaking to his deceased daughter, Stacy, who had died in a car accident. His grief was palpable, and instead of feeling frightened, Amber felt compassion for him.
Sitting beside him, she offered her understanding. They discussed seeking help together, acknowledging that they could carry their burdens as a team. As they embraced, Amber realized that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about sharing scars and finding solace in each other.
In that moment, she knew their journey together was just beginning.
