Now That I'm Married I Kind Of See His Decisions

I grew up 7th Day Adventist. Don't kid yourself, 7th Day Adventist are very religious and very socially conservative. Being of a certain age I rebelled and ran away with a rock band touring. It was a crowded van, but the leader insisted I ride shotgun, to keep grubby hands off me. I got first in line in the bathroom, fresh towel, privacy, he kept watch on the door. I slept in bed with him, not on the floor with the band members. He kept his backpack between us, so I needn't worry. He stopped on Sunday and looked for Church options.

We did KC, Chicago, Cleveland, NYC, then south to DC, Raleigh, Memphis. I got back as pristine as when I left, along with a story. He kept an eye on me, insisted I go to college. I had a late night shift at a pizza place, he escorted me home at night. One night walking, I was used to him walking me, I asked him why he treated me like a five year old.

He said the had a five year old sister. He literally would not touch me until we were married.
