Three years after his wife Karen’s death, Jim met Emily. As they grew close, Jim introduced Emily to his daughter, Amy, who embraced her. After two years, Jim proposed to Emily, but wedding preparations revealed tensions.

Emily suggested her nephew be the flower boy instead of Amy, which Jim firmly opposed. The night before the wedding, Jim overheard Emily’s bridesmaids plotting to lock Amy in a room to keep her out of the ceremony. Furious, Jim confronted Emily during the wedding.

In front of the guests, Jim exposed the plan to exclude Amy, leading to gasps of shock. Emily’s excuse that Amy reminded her of Karen was unacceptable to Jim. He canceled the wedding, declaring he couldn’t marry someone who would hurt his child.

The next day, Jim reassured Amy over breakfast that she wasn’t to blame. He explained that true happiness couldn’t come at the expense of family. Amy, relieved, understood Jim’s decision. Jim knew he had done right by his daughter, ensuring their bond remained strong.
