Chapter Five

Susie walked slowly down the aisle in her beautiful white dress toward a man with his back to her at the front of a church. She felt all the old feelings racing through her body. Finally, she would be Mark’s wife. They would spend their lives together as they’d always planned. She was almost to the front when he turned. He was laughing at her with Jennifer’s face.

She was jarred awake and glanced at the alarm clock next to her bed. It wasn’t even five yet. Mark dropped the boys off at six. She sighed and dragged herself out of bed. She got into the shower and let the water pound down on her. She stayed in there a long time just thinking about her life. Had she made a huge mistake by allowing Mark back into her life? If it weren’t for her mother, she’d head home immediately.

She dressed slowly, and walked to the kitchen to fix breakfast. Her dad’s favorite had always been French toast, so she mixed the eggs and milk up and got out a loaf of bread. While she waited for the skillet to heat, she set the table. Her dad wandered into the kitchen yawning as she plopped the first six pieces onto a platter. She took the bacon from the microwave and set it on another plate in front of him.

“This looks great, Susie. Thanks.”

“I had to fix your favorite, Dad.” She’d learned from her mother that anytime her dad was home was a time to celebrate. They’d taken turns pampering him with special meals.

David smiled at her. “How was your night with Mark?”

She sighed. “It was great. I felt like I’d turned back time.” She paused for a moment while she flipped the bread on the griddle. “I don’t know if I can do it, though. I forgive him. I honestly do. The problem is I just don’t trust him anymore. I can’t believe that he really loves me and wouldn’t hurt me again.”

“I know. Take it slow, and see what happens. I really think he’s the only man for you, so I want you to give him a chance.” He buttered his French toast and added syrup as he spoke. “If it doesn’t work out, then it doesn’t work out. But if it does, you’ll have the life that you always dreamed of.”

Susie dropped the toast onto a plate and looked at her dad for a moment. “But what if he breaks my heart again?”

“Let me ask you this. Is your life happier with him or without him? How many times have you thought about him while he wasn’t with you? How many other men have you dated who made you feel like Mark does?”

She sighed and shook her head, turning back to the griddle. “You know that I only go on first dates. No one is like Mark. He’s my best friend and the only man I’ve ever loved.”

“That makes it all worth it.” He ate a bite of his breakfast with his eyes closed.
