The Lord of the Rings: A Love to Last a Lifetime
Prologue
Maeomi was born into the Cretan family of Hobbits, the most wealthy and commonly liked Hobbits in the entire Shire. Meridoc was born into the Brandybuck family of hobbits, one with a name that had much of a similar value. The two met as children, gained a true friendship, and by their teenage years they would fall in love and fall apart. Their parents had never intended for them to meet, but saw great success in their future. Pressured to fall in love and wed, Merry and Maeomi's love would be tested wither it was real, or influenced by their families. By the time Maeomi turned sixteen, she knew she was in love with her best friend, and that could only mean trouble for her heart. Meridoc had no intentions of wedding any time in his near future, but he couldn't ignore the crazy antics of his female cohort, Maeomi. After a conversation that would change both of their lives, the two fathers of the young Hobbits decided that they were a match made in heaven, which was until Merry set his sights on another Hobbit from outside of Hobbiton. Maeomi's birthday party was one to remember, until she caught wind of Merry's uncertain "engagement" to this girl names Thalia. Scared to confront her free of rejection from Meridoc, Maeomi takes matters into her own hands and makes a move of ever lasting care for Merry, even if he plans to wed another.
