But the the two of them came out together stronger and set about to have an amazing marriage. In Almost Heaven, the couple found their footing among their jobs.

I didn’t want to risk the progress that had just been made.

Don’t risk going off your meds.” My bravado started to fail as my voice cracked and my eyes got a tad watery. “Don’t. Please.” “I’m sorry.
