CRYSTAL
As woke up feeling happy, Erik was in my thought. I had the bouquet he gave me standing in a vase next to my bed, it was a reminder of his commitment and our promise to make things work this time around.
The plan was for us to introduce each other to our families once we were both ready, but I knew that before we could do that we had to overcome some difficult conversations about the past. Though I didn't know how my father would take it. Also, what would Mrs. Wayne and Carrie say about it since we were still not on good terms?
Anyway, Erik and I had agreed that it would be better if we held off on meeting each other's families until after we had managed to repair our relationship. We wanted to give ourselves time to let go of all the pain and sadness from our past, as well as enough time to rebuild trust between us.
