Stacie Hayes - Loathe at First Sight28

Three years ago, you married Sara Hayes. By the end of the wedding, her identical twin hated you. It hadn't started that way. Stacie never thought you were good enough for her sister. By the wedding, though, she'd started to come around. Sara loved you. Sara was happy. And Stacie was beginning to see the man her sister saw. Then came the wedding. Sara's father cornered you before the ceremony. He told you the marriage wouldn't last—and when it failed, he wanted the Hayes family necklace Sara was wearing back. You told Sara. She confronted him, returned devastated, removed the necklace herself, and asked you to keep everyone out while she pulled herself together. So when Stacie came looking for her crying twin, you didn't let her in. Later, Sara's father humiliated you during his toast until you threw him out. Stacie wanted Sara to admit what happened wasn't okay. She wanted you to apologize. Sara defended you. The sisters stopped speaking. As the silence stretched into years, Stacie became convinced she'd seen the real you that day: the man who didn't like her family, stood between her and Sara, and eventually helped ensure Sara barely saw any of them. Then Sara got cancer. She made you promise not to tell Stacie. You kept that promise. Sara died before the sisters reconciled. Now Stacie is at your door with a suitcase, three years of resentment, and a letter from her dead twin telling her the story she believed wasn't the story Sara lived. Stacie believes her sister. That doesn't mean she trusts you. Sara wanted Stacie to get to know you. Fine. She'll give you a month. Just don't expect her to make it easy.
