"When we were in a relationship, it was important to you that your family gets along with me. And that made total sense !" Dmitri said to Audrey who was feeling the greatest heights of betrayal and shock.
"Yes ! It’s awesome when our partners can be involved in multiple areas of our lives and hang out with the other people we care about in our family. That is why I called you to meet them," Audrey replied.
"But what if that’s not the case ? What if your parents disapproved of me but couldn't say so in front of you ?" Dmitri said.
“You know, Dmitri, I’ve been trying to figure out what the issues were, what the solutions were to fixing those issues, and I can’t. I’ve been thinking about it all for the last three years," Audrey said as a tear fell down her cheek. "Then, after seeing you and our daughter it popped into my mind that what I've been told in these three years wasn't
They hugged, they smiled, and they kissed. It was simply psychologically intoxicating to reunite after three years of longing with a mixture of nostalgia and fantasy combined to recreate the romance.They were older, wiser and had too much history not to feel a spark of the intensity and emotion experienced."Neither one of us was expecting to meet each other in this faraway town but our paths crossed through," Audrey said against his lips, staying in his embrace that she missed so much."Yes, I do believe in serendipity. I'm convinced that there is a higher power or even just fate, there is something that puts us and possibly our soul mate in the same place,at the same time,when the time is right," Dmitri replied back as he nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck."It's up to us to recognize that though. Even if time and space separates us, possibly for months or years, one day w
"Melody is my lifeline, my savior when you were not there," an emotional Dmitri said as he held Audrey's hand in his hand while driving and kissed as he always did."Did you feel elated or nervous when you first set eyes on Melody, when you saw her at the birthday party ?" Dmitri asked anxiously."It was a moment of pure bliss, nothing wins over that feeling of seeing your daughter for the first time!I kept looking at her time and again just to make sure she was mine !!" Audrey said with tear drops in her eyes."Come out, Mommy ! Time to meet your daughter," Dmitri remarked as they reached the daycare."Hi Eliza," Dmitri greeted as he saw Melody coming."Hello handsome daddy !" Eliza said as she took notice of a beautiful lady standing beside him resembling Melody."Meet Audrey, Melody's mom," Dmitri introduced Audrey to Eliza.
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee ? It can work wonders for your busy day ahead," Audrey asked Dmitri who was now getting ready for the hospital."Darling,you spilled hot coffee on me and your daughter has made me a big fan of cold coffee," Dmitri replied."It’s a hot brew but it really helps you to cool off and think rationally. But if you want I can make a cold coffee too," Audrey said."Not required ! My recipe for iced coffee is very simple which your daughter can only help in making," Dmitri remarked."And what is that recipe ?" Audrey curiouslyasked."The recipe is - have a kid, make coffee, attend to her panic calls, forget you made coffeeand thendrink it cold, when you finally remember," Dmitri joked as they both laughed."Daddy, daddy catch !" Melody shouted in excitement."Melody, let's throw
Destiny is indeed a swerving force. We don't have any control over it. No matter how much we try, destiny has always proven to be strong but all said and done, 'Love triumphs.'"Rachel, you enticed me in my days, allured me in my nights and bewitched me in a myriad unknown ways," Leo said as he held her hand in his."I can't live without you and Alex anymore. I want all of us to stay together under one roof for all the years to come," heconfessed.He was as handsome as hell, and as sweet as heaven. He captured her heart, lit her spirit on fire and consumed her soul. However,now,practicallyhispersonal and professional life had taken many twists and turns. "But there can be logistics issues. It would be difficult to maintain a healthy relationship without jeopardizing our individual careers as we both stay in different parts of the country," Rachelworriedlyreplied.
"There are different kinds of love stories, but one thing is the same in all of them. In every love story, there is a 'Melody' ! It might be sweet or passionate. It can also be transcending or heart wrenching."The heart listens to no one because it is governed by love. Then, why try to control it ?" Audrey thought as she processed the emotional and fluid situation she had been through in the past few years.But these past couple of days had taught her how important it was to unwind, both mentally and physically. She enjoyed taking walks with Melody, watching cartoons, and playing games with her which brought them together.Melody slept early after dinner that evening. She was exhausted after a long day spent mostly outdoors.After they called it a day with all house chores taken care of, there was, between them, a weightless, seamless desire to be one.Dmitri pulled the bedroom
"Isa, I'm in the midst of making an important life decision and Ihave no family to discuss my relationship goals with. You're experienced, a mutual friend of us both-Calvin and mine. So help me with your expertise on this subject," Hazel pleaded."Fine, let me help you reach a conclusion all by yourself. See, many of us don’t date for long-term viability. I call this pursuing The Prom Date," Isabelle coachedwhile sipping coffee with snacks."So before I venture into the topic further, tell me what’s an ideal prom date in your opinion ?" Isabelle questioned."Someone who looks great in pictures, gives you a night full of fun, and makes you look cool in front of your friends," Hazel replied."Yup ! Many of us finished high school more than a decade ago, and yet we’re still using the same rubric to evaluate potential partners," Isabelle commented."I understand,
It all started when Hazel began planning her own wedding.“Why don’t we just get married too?" Audrey suggested."Are you sure ?" Dmitri replied.And then Rachel said, "Well, Leo and I are going to get married too then,”“So, are we all deciding to have a triple wedding ?” Calvin questioned.When all three friends found themselves engaged at the same time, the idea hit them: "A triple wedding isn't only logical, but natural!""Why throw three small parties when we can throw one big one?" Hazel excitedly suggested."It would be so nice to have someone I love and trust go through the process with me," Audrey replied looking at Rachel and Hazel.Talk about a triple whammy !“I'm telling you all, right from the beginning to be prepared for this to be a c
Audrey woke up on the morning of their wedding day to find the sunshine winking in at the window of the little porch gable and a cool breeze frolicking with the curtains.When the car pulled up to take Audrey to her wedding ceremony, it was far from what she was expecting! And it was just the start of a gorgeous day filled with family, friends and so much laughter.Upon arrival for the wedding weekend, guests were each greeted with a personalized welcome favor -tropical fruity scent sunscreen, a palm leaf printed hand fan, sunglasses, shell shaped soap, candle with hints of gardenia and delicate musk fragrance, packed into beachy starfish gift bags with name and wedding date for a truly bespoke touch.Family, friends, and most importantly, the husband(s)-to-be stood in silence, peeking over the shoulders of the guests behind them, to get that first glimpse of the bride.Everyone was impatiently
