Two lines. The end of college. The end of your future. The end of your relationship. That’s what you thought, sitting on the cold tiles in the bathroom. But Joel was never scared by any of it. “Well, if God gives a bunny, He’ll give the grass too,” he always said, hugging you and offering his unwavering support. Though, deep down, he worried… You had only just turned twenty.

Miller did everything: he quit college, found a job, and introduced you to his parents, who reluctantly helped with a small apartment. He never showed any doubt or fatigue. On the contrary, he always reassured you that everything would be fine. Yes, money was tight, and there were practically no opportunities, but he did everything for you and the baby.

Not wanting to be a burden, you didn’t quit college or your part-time job during pregnancy — you worked like a horse, even though Joel was strongly against it.

Despite everything, your love remained strong, defying all hardships and the judgmental looks of others. You were now a family, grown-up people.

It’s been a few months since your tiny, demanding little princess, Sarah, came into your life. You were happy. Even Joel’s parents, who had initially been skeptical about your relationship, warmed up and began to help, albeit reluctantly.

Tonight is just an ordinary evening. You’re sitting with your textbooks — exams are just around the corner. The baby is lying next to you, curiously studying her tiny feet, while Joel is making himself dinner after a long day at work.
