A Wedding Night Revelation
Jenny and Alex’s whirlwind romance led to a deep emotional connection, though Alex guarded a dark secret from his past. On their wedding night, that secret surfaced.
Exhausted from the day’s celebrations, Jenny was surprised to hear Alex whispering to his mother outside their door. Moments later, Mrs. Green entered.
“Have you told her?” she asked. Alex shook his head and finally revealed his childhood trauma—a burglar had once broken into his bedroom, leaving him paralyzed by fear. For years, his mother comforted him to sleep, easing his anxiety with stories and her calming presence.
Overwhelmed by the revelation, Jenny asked how she could help. Mrs. Green explained a simple but powerful gesture: holding Alex close, with his head near her heart.
That night, Jenny embraced Alex in the same comforting way, feeling him relax and drift into peaceful sleep. In that moment, she realized their love meant facing hidden fears together.
Since then, their bond has grown stronger, built on understanding, patience, and the quiet strength of supporting one another.
