Amber had lost faith in love—until a backyard cookout changed everything. She met Steve, an old friend of her father’s, and felt an instant spark. What began as small talk turned into a whirlwind romance. Within six months, they married in an intimate ceremony, and Amber believed she’d found stability and care.
On their wedding night, Amber entered the bedroom to find Steve talking softly to an unseen presence. He confessed to speaking with “Stace”—his daughter who had died in a car accident with her mother. Amber, instead of recoiling, joined him. She held his hand and assured him he wasn’t crazy—he was grieving.
They agreed Steve would seek therapy. Over time, he began healing, with Amber’s unwavering support. Their home became a haven of love, where Stacy’s memory was not a burden, but a cherished part of their shared story.
In the end, Amber realized true love wasn’t about perfection—it was about embracing each other’s wounds, facing grief together, and celebrating resilience. As Steve whispered, “I never thought I could feel this complete again,” they sat in silence, wrapped in each other’s arms.
