Melinda, a naive fifteen-year-old girl, was working part-time at a local fish and chip shop when Peter first entered her life. Each Saturday night, after the pubs had shut their doors, he would arrive at the shop, noticeably inebriated and dishevelled. From the moment he saw Melinda, Peter was certain he wanted to be a part of her life forever.

It took several years and persistent effort from Peter to finally convince Melinda to go on a date with him. Remarkably, just three weeks after their first date, Peter proposed to her. What followed is a tale of unexpected love and life-changing decisions, marking the beginning of a unique and enduring story.
