Falling in love with Alex felt like stepping into the pages of a novel\u2014exciting, emotional, and full of quiet depth. From the beginning, our connection was intense and deeply emotional. We made a choice early on to keep our relationship focused on emotional and spiritual intimacy until we were married.

Why was she here?<\/p>\n
What couldn\u2019t he do? When the door opened, and both of them stepped in, I was confused and, honestly, a bit frightened. That\u2019s when the truth came out. When Alex was just five years old, a burglar broke into his bedroom in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
