His Promise Was Never Mine
I had believed her.
For a long time, I had even been moved by it.
Now, when I thought about it, I realized she had probably said words like that to me countless times.
During the fall harvest, she had needed someone to help cut wheat. She called me family, and I worked for three straight days without complaint.
When their house was being renovated, she told me it would be my future bridal home. Like a fool, I paid 30,000 of my own money to help with the repairs.
