Jonathan’s desire was to choose a career that his parents would be proud of. He had the utmost respect for them. Throughout his childhood, they showed him that family was the most important part of life. He wanted that ideal family life for himself when the time was right. Emmylou had most of the same passions in life that Jonathan had. She was a career minded female even before high school. She loved her childhood and wanted the same in the near future, but ever since she was younger, she felt she needed more.

The future held a very different outlook for the relationship of two people so much in love. Career paths lead them to a totally different environment. They anticipated their relocation would become fruitful for their family, but what they didn’t realize was the chaos down the road to wedding bliss with many disturbances along the way.

Jonathan’s good friend, whom he met when he was much younger, got caught up in the vengeance from his error in judgement from the past, resulting in horrible circumstances, which put his friend in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jonathan’s remorseful feelings triggered an act of vengeance of his own. His heart felt so much pain for his good friend that didn’t deserve the unremorseful actions of a vindictive stranger.

Secrets have always damaged the happiness and future that could have been prevented by being a wiser and truthful party of a union. Unfaithfulness is a dead end to happiness. If one doesn’t believe in themselves, they could get caught up in lies and deceitfulness.
