Karey has been dating Kevin since her second year in high school. To everyone around them, they seemed like the perfect couple. Only Karey knew better. The relationship had started out like a dream come true.

Karey was the shy, timid girl next door type, and Kevin was the popular charmer. They had met one night at a party, and spent most of the night talking. By the end of the party, Kevin had asked her out, and she had said yes.

The first month was bliss. Kevin took Karey out to expensive restaurants, and out to the most popular night clubs.

I love you and I want us to make our lives together. Karey Will you marry me?" Kevin asked gracing her with his most charming smiles.

At first Karey was stunned speechless. A big part of her worried that they were rushing things. While the other, was swayed by his charming manner. They got along wonderfully.
