Time.
It was something that could be either a friend, or an enemy. In his case Lucas Roth had thought that time would be a friend regarding the issue of his son being married to Haley Slater. A woman from a family that the Roths had hated for generations. But now it was becoming very apparent to him that time was the enemy.
He had thought that as the days turned to weeks and the weeks to months. His son and the Slater girl would grow tired of one another. The natural tendency of Roths and Slater's to clash forcing them apart. But it seemed that he had made a mistake.
Six months. That was how much time had passed since Deacon and that Slater girl had gotten married. Given the way that Slaters and Roths fought like cats and dogs at the drop of a hat, such a thing should not have been possible. They should not have even made it past their first month. But now the six month mark had come and gone and his son and the Slater girl were still going strong.
