CHAPTER 74 The Unspoken Feelings Between Us

  DAVID'S POV

  Anna spoke up. "I appreciate your concern," she said, addressing the woman.

  "But I hope you can see that our marriage is not about anything other than our love for each other.

  We are committed to each other and our future together. I understand that you may have doubts, but I hope that over time, you will come to see that our love is real."

  The woman seemed to consider this for a moment, and then she nodded. "I hope that you're right," she said. "I would hate to see either of you get hurt."

  I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. I was relieved that the woman had accepted our explanation, even if she still had reservations. But I knew that it would take time to earn everyone's trust.

  Anna looked at me and smiled. I could tell that she was feeling the same relief I was. We had made it through the first hurdle, but there would be many more to come. I just hoped that we could face them together, and come out stronger on the other side.
