Love Went Quiet Before I Did

Nathan Gunn's parents died when he was young and the Larson family took him in. The arrangement came with an engagement to their three daughters, one of whom he was to marry at twenty two. Elijah Scott turned up before that happened, and all three sisters dropped Nathan. He married Zendaya Irwin instead, on short notice. She had been in love with him for years. The sisters did not believe the marriage was real and treated it as an act he would drop if pushed hard enough. They made a show of favoring Elijah and pushed Nathan out of the way again and again. They gave Elijah what was left of Nathan's parents' belongings.
