This was a good read...I understand Henrietta's anger completely. I have to say that I found it almost unbelievable that Henry was never with another woman except for his lesbian wife...after twenty something years. I can understand Vanessa not wanting to be with anyone else and besides her daughter was her first priority. Oh well...I guess that was some powerful love though it wasn't enough for him choose her and their child. He remained celibate all those years and was miserable from what I read so why in the hell did he wait until his daughter shows up to save his life to finally do SOMETHING about it? Better late than never...I guess. I would love a little more backstory about the history of Henry and Vanessa...I caught a glimpse of it in the little that you wrote but I need a little more.

More of their past will be revealed in the future. I will say that Henry was miserable after leaving Vanessa. He never went back to her because he felt guilty about having her to have an abortion and he felt that she would never forgive him for that. He couldn't forgive himself for being too weak to stand up against his parents. His self imposed celibacy was part of his penance for what he did to Vanessa. Once he realized that his child was alive and well, he felt that he had a second chance to redeem himself.
I will say in Henry's defense that he was a sickly child with asthma. He didn't have many friends and spent his first seventeen years under constant doctors care. Once his asthma went into remission, he decided to go away to college to experience life. That's when he met Vanessa. When she became pregnant, he wanted to marry her and went to his parents who threatened to cut him off if he didn't make her have an abortion and Henry had to transfer to another college. Henry had no idea how to take care of himself, because he never had to in the past. He felt that he had no choice but to bow to his parent's wishes.
Thanks for the review. More is coming with Henry and Henny and Vanessa in the near future!

Great start! I think I'm on Henny's side right now. What Henry did to Vanessa was beyond messed up and she jumped into bed a little to quickly in my opinion, but I can't wait to see how it all works out.
Author's Response:
Vanessa had no intention of giving in to Henry. Henry didn't come there to seduce her, but once they kissed, all bets were off. LOL. Thanks for the review. MOre is coming up with the next holiday or the next challenge.
