The Dating Chronicles

Fate?

Ken, a successful and busy attorney, was talking on the phone and speeding as usual on his way to an important meeting he was late for when he hit a woman and her toddler son crossing the street. He was devastated as he tried to give aid to them.  After the police and ambulance came, he went on to work, but he couldn’t get the mother and child off his mind.  He felt terrible about what happened and was worried sick about their conditions.

When he left work that evening, he went by the hospital to check on them and was shocked to learn they had no family and that they lived in a homeless shelter.  Ken began to visit them daily after work and soon grew attached to the woman, whose name was Marva, and her son.

Three weeks later, when Marva was discharged from the hospital ahead of her son, Ken brought her home with him, to a sprawling four-bedroom ranch house. Since he was single, he felt obligated to help her because of the guilt he felt about the accident. As time went on, he decided to take care of Marva and her son, until she could get on her feet.

They began to bond and soon began dating as she grew stronger. When he came home from work, she’d have dinner waiting on him, and his house would be sparkling clean.  By the time, her child was released from the hospital, Ken and Marva had become a couple, and nine months later, when Ken and Marva married, they became a family.
