Michael listened to Lucas’s endless dinosaur facts, showed up to school events, and cared long before he officially lived with us. One night, Lucas asked him, “Are you going to be my dad?” and Michael answered without hesitation that he’d be honored. I fell in love with him even more in that moment.
The only real problem was Michael’s mother, Loretta, who masked cruelty behind sweetness. She constantly hinted that I was “lucky” anyone would take on “someone else’s child,” and when she learned Lucas crocheted, she mocked him for doing a “girl craft.” Lucas always heard her cutting comments.
Four months before our wedding, Lucas suddenly became secretive, locking himself in his room after school. When he finally revealed what he’d been working on, he presented a garment bag. Inside was a full wedding dress—crocheted by hand. It was intricate, elegant, and breathtaking. He had spent months learning advanced techniques just to make me something unique.
