Amber had long given up on love—until a surprise BBQ at her parents’ house changed everything. There, she met Steve, her father’s ruggedly charming old friend. Despite their age gap and her doubts, sparks flew. When her car broke down, he fixed it, then asked her to dinner. One date turned into many, and six months later, they were married.
Their small wedding felt like a dream come true—until their wedding night.
Amber found Steve sitting alone in the dark, talking softly… to someone who wasn’t there. Startled, she confronted him. That’s when Steve revealed his secret: he was speaking to his late daughter, Stacy, who had died in a car crash years ago. He still spoke to her sometimes—especially on important days.
Amber’s heart ached, not with fear, but with compassion. Instead of pulling away, she sat beside him, held his hand, and said, “We’ll carry this together.”
Love, she realized, isn’t about perfection—it’s about choosing to stay, even when things get heavy.
