Chapter 34 The Wedding Dress

• Maya could hardly sleep that night. Her heart leaped with joy one moment at the thought of marrying Joseph, and the next, it exploded with fear, unsure of what would happen afterward.
• She had always been against the idea of a rushed marriage with a man she barely knew. With Joseph, it felt different this time; after all, she loved him, and that was reason enough to go through with the marriage.
• She feared that when she woke up the next day, her father would be at her door, ready to drag her back to hell. She tossed and turned, her mind invaded by random thoughts, all preventing her from resting.
