I took Amy out to breakfast the next day. Are you certain that not marrying Emily was the right decision?
Amy inquired, Yes, sweetheart,” I said in a clear voice.
Do you believe it would have been appropriate for you to wed Emily if she had kept you locked in a room during the ceremony?
Amy gave a head shake. She replied, “No.
” But she did, in fact, cheer you up, didn’t she? For a brief moment, I said honestly.
But when I considered the lengths she would go to in order to satisfy herself, I wondered: No, dear, she did not make me happy then.
” She smiled at me and said, “I’m glad, Dad.
” I also knew then that I had acted in her best interest.
