Chapter 15: DANA-SUE

So, he thinks that marriage is just something to be played with, does he? Well, we'll just see about that.

It wasn't easy getting the priest to agree to my little request, but in the end, what fault could he find with it?

He was supposed to oppose divorce, wasn't he? So what harm was there in making that one little stipulation in the wedding vows?

When the time comes, I will use that to my advantage. It seems since coming back home; my whole world has been turned upside down with one thing or another. Now I'm married.

I looked down at the gold band he'd placed on my finger; it's funny; I hadn't been expecting one. It was old but beautiful, one of those timeless pieces that endured the test of time.

I felt a warmth creep into my heart for a split second as I looked after my new husband's retreating back. 'It's time you grow up, Dana.' I told myself.

Yes, it was; if not I will forever be tossed to and fro in the tempest, with other people always making the decisions for me.
