The sun shone brightly as Sarah drove down the highway, her window rolled down, the radio blasting her favorite song. Today was the day. After weeks of texting and phone calls, she was finally meeting James' family. The drive went by incredibly fast. She could barely contain her glee. She loved James, and she wanted to be with him always.

When she arrived, she saw him standing on the porch with another woman. The woman rushed over and kissed him. "Oh, Sarah, you're here!" he stammered, and a storm of emotion began to brew inside of her.
