Dakota and Katy
“I’m never getting married!”
Dakota, my husband Martin’s best friend, had made the assertion his entire life. From the time Dakota was old enough to take an interest in girls, he said it: I’m never getting married!
He enjoyed many long, stable relationships over the years, but was always firm and unwavering in his resolve: I’m never getting married!
And then one day, he met Katy.
Sydnie Hess is one of our nurse’s aides.
She is playful. Silly. Child-like (I almost said childish). An often-loud, bursting-with-enthusiasm bubbly free spirit. She is also very responsible. Dependable. Committed to her work. She takes care of business.
She kind of reminds me of … well … of me.
Scott Hergerton is a mechanic, Sydnie’s boyfriend. He is quiet. Reserved. A little shy if you don’t know him. Great fun when you do. The type of long-suffering guy who patiently bides his time while his girlfriend teases him mercilessly, and then when she’s least expecting it – wham! – gets even in a big big way.
