No to Marriage? Goodbye, Then

"I chase after Dean Wagner for five years while Graham Ashford chases after me for seven.When Dean marries Emily Caldwell, I finally say yes to being Graham's girlfriend.Graham is over the moon. He treats me like I'm everything to him, like he'd do whatever it takes just to make me happy.But Graham doesn't believe in marriage.Even when our daughter turns four, he still hasn't married me. He won't even let her call him "Dad".One night, I overhear him joking around with his buddies."Your daughter's already four. You still aren't bringing your wife and kid home to meet your parents?"Graham taps his knuckles on the table and laughs. "You know why I got with Nora and had a kid with her. I just want to make Emily jealous."Nora's easy to fool. She won't ever leave me, even if I never bring her or the kid home."He thinks he has me all figured out, but he doesn't.I turn and leave without a word, then plan to leave him for good.A man like that doesn't deserve my love. And he sure as well doesn't deserve to be my daughter's father."
