    After months of agonizing over how and when to tell Robert about my illicit and inappropriate relationship with my stepbrother, I was forced to confess my sin after Robert proposed. I could not procrastinate any longer. I simply was not prepared to marry the man without telling him about my great sin. I was elated to learn that Robert found the sordid details titillating rather than appalling. He did not see me as a pariah, as I feared he might. However, he had his own confession to reveal. Robert confessed a similar intimate relationship with his stepmother. Initially, I was taken aback. I was shocked to learn that Robert and his stepmother had shared such intimacies. But I quickly realized that it was only his relationship with his stepmother that gave him the context that allowed Robert to understand my relationship with Gary as something beautiful and something to be cherished. I slowly came to understand that to Robert, his relationship with his stepmother was as beautiful as my relationship with Gary was to me. I spent that night in Robert's arms, thanking God above for sending this man into my life. I was convinced, there was no one else on this planet who was better suited to be my life's partner. There was no one else who would understand me so well, and accept me for who I was. The next day was spent telling our family members of our engagement.

It never occurred to me that Gary would want to withdraw from me once I found my 'life's partner'. I put my concerns about Gary aside for the moment. I called Uncle Ralph to tell him about my engagement. He was thrilled for me. Uncle Ralph had assumed the 'father figure' role in my life since dad's death in Afghanistan in 2012. As dad's older brother, I told him that I would want him to 'give me away' at the wedding. He was flattered. He insisted upon hosting an engagement party in my honor. He wanted an opportunity to meet Robert's family. The engagement party was set for a little more than a month later, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Uncle Ralph would host it at his country club in Palo Alto. Mom and Gary would attend, as would Robert's stepmother and his father. It would be the first time I would meet his father. Robert and I left the UCLA campus a little past eleven o'clock on Thursday before the big event. If we could avoid heavy traffic, we could make the trip ...
