Chapter 1

“I had a nice time Andrew.” Genny said to her fiance of two years.  “But I must really get some sleep.”

“Genny, we’ve been engaged for two years.  When will we get married?” Andrew said, losing his patience.

“I have one month of school before graduation to become a doctor.” Genny reminded him.  “Can’t it wait one more month?”

“Fine.  I’ll see you the day after your test for our weekend in Paris.” Andrew said, giving Genny a kiss on the lips before taking off and letting Genny get some sleep.

Genny got down on her knees and prayed to God:  “Please God, let me get through this month and I’ll plan the wedding.  Andrew is getting so impatient.  Just one more month.  In Jesus name, Amen.”

Genny got into bed and got some sleep.   

Andrew on the other hand was out partying with his pal, Charlie Simpson.  

“So, Andrew, when’s the wedding?” Charlie casually asked his pal.

“I asked Genny tonight.  She said she had to get through her final to graduate in a month.” Andrew said, downing his troubles in a pitcher of beer.

“Man, I feel for you.” Charlie said.  “Genny is more concerned with her studies than she is with a life with you?”

“You won’t say anything?” Andrew told Charlie.

“On my honor.” Charlie said raising his right hand.

“I’m thinking of calling off the engagement.” Andrew confessed to his friend.

“Oh, gee, it’s that bad?”

“I can’t take this 2-year-plus engagement.” Andrew complained.  “I want to start my life with Genny, but she wants her career first.”

“Well, bro, I’m with you, whatever you decide.”

“I’m going to tell Genny when he get back from our Paris weekend.” Andrew said.  “I don’t want to ruin her weekend.

As Genny was sleeping beautiful dreams of a wonderful life with Andrew after her graduation from med school, Andrew was stumbling up the walkway into his home.
