Chris and Toby were engaged March 31, 1969, married on Valentine's
Day of '70, both of them aged 22, and Toby was expecting their first baby
by November of the same year. They moved into a quaint house in a good
neighbourhood. It had a rose garden. Their lives were moving fast but it
never seemed like a big deal. It was always just two best friends being
best friends together. Nothing ever seemed to touch that. Not bills; not
grocery lists; not morning sickness; not Chris' courtroom dramas. It was
just Chris and Toby. Nothing had changed since the ninth grade. They still
teased each other, loved each other, held each others' hands.They were just
a little older and they had a mortgage now.
