The Introduction
"I'm sorry, Marty. There's been a terrible accident. I hate to have to tell you this ... but your husband is dead," said John McBain.
Ever since that fateful day, Marty had done everything possible to go on with her life. She tried to concentrate on her career and her unborn child, but her heart ached for the man she had loved. It was as if she were missing half of her soul.
They had gotten married three months prior to the accident. It was on their honeymoon when Marty realized just how strong their bond had become...
They were on a yacht, sailing just off the coast of Florida when he had said, "We are soulmates, Marty; you and me. We are always going to belong to each other. No matter what happens, I'm always going to protect you. I love you and that's forever. If anything ever happens to me -." "Don't talk that way," she cried out. "Nothing's going to happen to you! We are married now. We're in love, and we have our whole lives ahead of us." He pulled her close and looked deeply into her eyes. "From now on, after tonight, I will burned into your soul forever... and you will be burned into mine," he stated. Before she had a chance to ask what he meant, he had taken her lips in a scorching kiss. When the kiss had ended, his eyes penetrated deep into the core of her innermost being. "What... what are you saying?" she whispered as she searched his eyes. "I'm asking you to give me half of your soul; to entrust it to me forever. Will you do it, Marty? Will you share a bond with me? Will you be mine, forever and a day?" She nodded as tears glowed in her eyes. "When I spoke my wedding vows, I meant every word with all of my heart and all of my soul. I am yours forever." Once again his lips took hers in a flaming kiss. He carried her down below to the stateroom and made passionate love to her all night long...
It was in that fiery passion that a wonderful kind of telepathy had developed between them. They always knew when the other was in trouble. Sometimes she could read his thoughts, just as he could read hers. They were bonded for eternity. Also on that night, their child had been conceived. For three spectacular months, Marty and the man she loved had everything. But it all ended in a car crash... or so she had thought...
