(Author’s note: I want to share an unpublished story I originally wrote for the final section in my new book The Heart of Marriage. When another author became available for this section at the last minute I removed this to make room for it.)
Bryan,
I didn’t mean to fall for you that May.
A few short months from leaving for an Ivy League school 1800 miles from my Arkansas home, falling in love was the last thing I wanted. I intended to set the world on fire and honestly, you didn’t fit into my plans. Maybe deciding when to fall in love is like deciding when to have a baby: there’s never a good time.
