Marina Frances had been in love with Jettson Frame from the moment she had lain eyes on him eleven years earlier. But Jettson had never noticed for drooling all over Flame, who had noticed him for the same length of time it took her to dump him and marry another man. Then Jettson had moved out of the state and Marina hadn’t seen nor heard of him in six years. Plus, she had gotten on with her life to the point of becoming engaged to marry her attorney boyfriend of a year and a half and the marriage was six weeks away. Now Jettson was back in her life busily chasing after her divorced Cousin Flame while trying to foist her off onto his nerdy Cousin Berry: all just like old times. How was Marina supposed to cope with her imminent marriage knowing she was still in love with Jettson, a man who didn’t know she was alive in that way and a man who could never seem to get her name straight? Nervously Marina marched down the aisle on her father’s arm Monday evening after her succession of bridesmaids. Her mother had been seated at the front of the church by one of Harvey’s groomsmen, an impatient look on her face as if the wedding wouldn’t take place fast enough for her. Harvey’s parents had been seated across the aisle from her, Harland Jr. and Amy Lennox looking on at her entrance with interest. But Marina barely took note of any of them as her gaze fixed on her fiancé as he stood tall and proud before the Reverend Ansley with Ty Wallerstein officiating as his best man. It was only a wedding rehearsal and Marina was a total mess, her heart thudding in her chest like a jackhammer. Harvey was a good man—her mother had been right about that—and he loved her very much. Marina would be a fool not to marry him in light of his newfound status at his law firm. By the same token, how could she possibly marry him knowing she was in love with another man? What guarantee did she have that she would learn to love him after they were married when it didn’t work for her Aunt Nadine three times? And how did Marina know that Harvey wouldn’t be able to detect by her marital frigidity that she didn’t love him in the true sense of the word? She should be telling Harvey right now that she could not marry him because she was not in love with him. But by the same token, she wanted to marry him because she would be a fool to let a great catch like him go. She was torn wanting him, but for all the wrong reasons. Marina fought to get a grip on herself as she and her father neared the altar. Perhaps if she recalled the playful banter that had taken place between her and her bridesmaids out in the lobby before the rehearsal had started. Simone joking about how eldest son Drancy had gotten in a fight with a neighboring child that day and how Azar had beat his behind when he’d arrived home that evening.... Gale telling her something about Darnell having returned home from his weekend business and their plans to get together later on that evening.... Shawna telling her something about being voted employee of the month at one of her jobs.... And Flame laughing about how Jettson had taken her to Six Flags Over Georgia for the day on Sunday and how she had gotten him to spend all of his money on her.... So, what else was new...?! Yet as her mind lingered on thoughts of him, Marina had to fi ght the urge to scream. JETTSON FRAME! He was the cause of all of her problems, the cause of all of her doubts concerning Harvey. Marina just did manage to pull herself together as her father deposited her at Harvey’s side. She forced warmth to her expression as she met the expectant look he turned on her. “...And at this point, I will say, ‘Who gives this woman to be with this man?’ And you will say...?” the Reverend Ansley prompted her father. “...I do,” answered Orin Francis. “And then, you will give your daughter to Harvey and tur
There are magic words that work wonders: I'm sorry, forgive me, it's my fault. And there are others that open up infinite possibilities: I love you, I need you, I can't live without you. For some strange reason, there is a widespread misconception that good feelings towards our loved ones go without saying, are taken for granted, assumed. Therefore, with this perspective, from some indefinite moment in time, we abandon the good habit of showing our feelings, we stop saying ”I love you”, ”I need you”, ”I like this or that”, etc. I am sincerely convinced that it is not enough to give a gift once in a while, be it a diamond necklace, a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates. I am an unrepentant enthusiast for the palpable, physical and persistent demonstration over time of expressing what we feel for our loved ones: our partner, children, friends, each on their own scale. We do it with the dog and the cat, why don't we do it with human beings? I think we should give many more hugs, many more kisses, say many more ”I love you”, many more ”I need you”, many more ”you are my life”. And besides acting like this every day, it wouldn't hurt to write it down for the record. Have you tried to give a love letter to your wife you've been with for years? Have you tried to write a page with the word THANK YOU? I'm sure you have many reasons to be grateful. It's about sitting down for a few minutes, reflecting for a few minutes and putting down on paper what's in your heart. It doesn't seem too difficult. I think more than one person would be surprised at the results. Translator: Nicoleta Nagy PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
