Katie wanted to show her support but hesitated to step into the church to watch her sister marry a man she loathed. From the beginning, he’d aimed to win Amelia – like a prize at a fair. Now papa depended on him. And mama? His charming ways had pleased her and words spoken against him brought down her wrath. Katie feared for her wraith-like sister whose shining light had already begun to flicker and would certainly dim under his possession. She forced herself to enter the building. She needed to be there when Brandon grew bored and discarded her loved ones.

Well written, Colline. It’s hard to stand back and watch someone you love make a huge mistake.

And yet you cannot walk away because you know there will be a time when that person will need your support.

This is a true-to-life story. Amelia is going to need her, and it probably won’t take too long.

Probably not as a person eventually shows their true colours.

Dear Colline,
What a pity that Katie’s the only one who sees through Brandon. At least she’s loyal to her sister. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Her love for her sister is greater than her distrust of the man that she is marrying.

What a shame that the whole family fell for that guy. She is a loving sister, sticking around to watch out for her loved ones.

Not everyone is able to see beneath the facade so many of us present to the world. 😦

Beautifully done. At least she will be there to pick up the eventual pieces… because no matter what, her sister won’t listen now.

Those in love tend not to see the negatives of the person they love. Only time will help them see the reality.

Katie also wanted to marry or at least possessed by Brandon at some point in time!

Probably not. She was just able to see what type of person he is from the beginning.

Thank goodness she will be a step ahead when he does come into his own. I hope it will be enough to save her sister. Excellently told!

I think that is what she is hoping for as well. Thank you.
