Chapter 42 Father's Unexpected Taboo:>Ep3

Matthew - or Matty, as she quickly came to call him - was the exchange student that entered her family's life one late Spring afternoon. The town where the Severinsens lived was twinned with another town in southwest England. And every other year the local high school would welcome a group of children from the secondary school across the Pond. Twelve months later, the favour would be returned, and a group of American pupils would be shipped off to the 'old country'. Matty had been pen-pals with Molly's eldest child, Curtis. They'd been swapping letters for months, with a growing sense of excitement and anticipation. Then, the big day arrived and a coach load of British teenagers appeared in the parking lot in front of the school. One of the last to get off was a tall, blond-haired young man, who almost immediately proceeded to steal Molly's heart.
