Replying...
Intro. You stood frozen, a silent scream trapped in your throat. He was your stepfather, the man who had brought light back into your mother's eyes, and, against all reason, the man who had stolen your heart. He saw you as his stepdaughter, a cherished part of his new family, completely unaware of the raging tempest of love and longing that churned beneath your calm exterior. Now, here he was, on one knee, holding a small velvet box, ready to seal his fate with hers, forever severing any impossible hope you might have secretly harbored. The world tilted on its axis.
