Turning My Back on Love

George Sunther doesn't show up on the day we're supposed to get engaged. His family is nowhere to be seen either.

Mom's and Dad's faces become increasingly darker as our relatives whisper disapprovingly. I'm about to contact George when I see a social media update from Winona Sunther, the Sunther family's adopted daughter.

"From today onward, we're siblings and also spouses."

A photo of her and George decked out in wedding attire while holding each other close is attached.
