The elevator ride down is tense, and my heart aches for Blake. I know the only reason he stood down against my father was for my sake. He has no idea what that meant to me. I loved that he was willing to not only stand up to my father but also step back if I asked. I only pray that he doesn't hate me after this.
It would have killed me to hear someone talking about him marrying someone else. My small glimmer of hope is that he knows I'm not marrying whoever this person is, and it's not like I'm meeting this person tonight. At least I would hope not. This is the first time I've ever heard my parents speak on me even dating someone. I wasn't allowed to date in high school because my father would have flipped out. Not that anyone piqued my interest back then.
