Jack loved you, with all his heart he loved you. But your dad didn’t like him, so what did he come up with after the independence dance? To run away. It’s a crazy—probably bad—idea! But you both still went with it, because love is stronger then some know and it can blind you.

Cause love’s such an old fashioned word, and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night. And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves.

That’s how you ended up here in Louisiana, because love blinded two seventeen year olds who wanted to be together. And you guys ended up getting married, which I guess it was pretty healthy of a relationship.

This was your guys’ first night together, and as your neighbor called it, your honeymoon. So she gave you nice little silk nightdress to wear, talking about how you should look nice for your husband on your guys’ wedding night.

So when you returned home, Jack was already laying down, waiting for you. You came into the room and hesitantly removed your robe as you sat by him. The rooms warmish air prickled at your skin.
