An unexpected bombshell was dropped by my fiance, Daniel, only two days before our wedding. He had to go on an unforeseen vacation. There was something about his story that didn’t set well with me, and when I received a call from his employer, I decided to follow him because it created more questions than it asked answers.

I glanced at him, certain that I had misunderstood what he had said. “What is it? “Daniel, only two days remain until our wedding.”
He quickly responded, “I know,” while lowering his voice as if he thought that being soft would make it easier to say the words.
“You have my word that I will promptly return. It’s possible that even the night before.”
