CHAPTER 1
John and Liv had been attending a shower that one of their friends had thrown for them. The backseat of their car was loaded down with all kinds of new household items that would go in their new house as soon as they married and moved. Both came from families where it was not expected or acceptable to stay together before they were married and they had both held true to that. They were both very excited about the honeymoon and everything to come. They were singing to a crazy station that they had come across and were chatting like little kids. When they pulled into Liv's driveway, the lights were all on except for the porch light. That was odd considering she had only left the kitchen light on and the porch light.
"Maybe Mom is here helping me pack", she thought.
John walked her to the door and took all the items into her spare room. Her mom was not there and he checked all the rooms before he left. She locked the door behind him and got ready for bed. It had been a long night and she was wiped out.
John went home and settled in for a long night. He was off of work for the next two weeks to attend pre-wedding activities with Liv and he was not the least bit tired at 9:30. Liv had to go to work in the morning so he couldn't call and talk to her but he missed her so much. She was quite possibly the best thing that had ever happened to him. She was never harsh with him but neither did she let him walk all over her. They were perfect for each other and he was so grateful that she had said yes to be his wife.
