Storyline

Two lovers are living together and are not married as they hesitantly explain to her brother. They had made a promise as children to get married when they grew up, but they "didn't wait." It's an important plot point, as it drives Cooper's actions when he discovers that Crawford and Young are living in sin. Written by Brian Black |
