Years ago…
Seventeen year old Julian was at home with his nana. She was his only friend in the family. The Eldeman family comprised of extremely serious people. Thorne Eldeman was a man of principle. His wife Amanda Eldeman was the female version of him. They were both overachievers.
Julian's parents where childhood friends. Not high school sweethearts. That would imply that they met in high school, dated and eventually got married. That was not their story. Theirs was entirely different. Their parents were friends. Well if business partners qualified as friends then they were friends. Thorne Eldeman was born two days before Amanda and from birth it was playfully agreed that they were to be married to keep the business going and so they did. Their marriage though premeditated was not one without love. There was love in the years before they were wedded.
