Chapter 14
Thanks JennDur for beta'ing for me.
"I'd known you father since we were babies. Harry was always following me around like a puppy, the poor boy had the biggest crush, but I didn't see him that way."
"But you ended up married to him with two kids…"
"It wasn't a secret that I was a bit of a wild child. My dad wanted me to marry a nice boy from the rez. Well," she smirked, "you can imagine that there weren't really any callers lining up at the door. Until one day, your dad and his parents showed up to speak to mine. The next day I was told to give Harry a chance, especially since no one else had shown an interest in me."
"Seriously? You guys were married in like nineteen-ninety-three, it's not like back in the day with courting and all that."
"Sometimes things around here are still way behind, sweetie. I'd had enough of being locked in the house and miserable though, so I agreed to see how things went."
"Do you love Dad?"
"I do now. It took some time, but I knew he was a good guy and wouldn't do me wrong. Before we got married, we agreed that we'd never put our kids through that… I can't believe it. But this all ends. Right now, it ends, honey."
More tomorrow.
