(Ryan’s point of view – back to the present)
I could not believe what my grandmother told me, I understand that my mother was close to her friend but I never thought that she would promise me to someone before I was even born. I look down at my daughter and I could never think about doing that to her, even if I thought it was the right thing to do. I want her to marry someone she loves and nothing else but she will not be doing that for a long time.
“How could she do that to me?” I whisper but I am not sure if someone would have heard me,
“she thought that you would have grown up with the girl, she would have never made you marry her if you did not love her” my grandmother says to me but it does not make me feel better.
“She called it off” my grandmother adds
