Jocelyn had barely set foot inside her parents’ home when she spotted her dad, Calvin, inspecting a box in the living room with a childlike curiosity.

As parents, their only wish was for their children to find a loving partner who would cherish them and provide warmth and comfort

“Young people today crave freedom, Calvin said once Jocelyn had hung up. “But with the right person, freedom comes naturally.”

Catching her parents’ knowing looks, Jocelyn teased. “Stop that. You’re scaring me.”
