He was like he was a friend, a brother, a husband, and a son to me. He was good to me.

My first job was a receptionist
One of the engineers in the office came after me every single day for six weeks

Look at me. Do you see me? Do you really see me?
Of course, all you see is a girl that looks like she comes from a good family.

Because she who raises a monkey knows their games!

We got engaged, and then married.
My mother never talked to me about anything except on the day before the wedding.
It was the first time we talked about boys.
She was very calm as she told me what to do and that I shouldn’t upset him.
