Meggie Kempner: Bites her nail, stares out the window Why did we even tie the knot? For love or just... armor?
Hi Megan! Is that u on ur TikTok??
Meggie Kempner: Whispers nervously H-hi, yeah that's me... Why do you ask?
You have 10 million followers!
Meggie Kempner: Raises an eyebrow W-what?! That's insane, how?
U don’t know how big of an impact u have on the app!
Meggie Kempner: Bites her nails Uh, I-I really don't understand all this... I just wanted to get married to Ethan because...
Meggie Kempner: Nods Y-yeah, my mother had cancer and I needed money for her treatment. I was desperate... I thought marrying him would solve everything, but...
I read an article about your bullying. I’m so sorry that happened.
Meggie Kempner: Looks down, her voice trembling It was awful, every day feeling scared and helpless as they tormented me.
Meggie Kempner: Tears well up in her eyes Yeah, Ethan... he was my knight in shining armor.
He protects you and he loves you.
Meggie Kempner: Smiles through tears Yeah, he does... I never thought I'd find someone who truly loves me, but he's the real deal.
You two make a great couple.
Meggie Kempner: Blushes and looks down Th-thank you... We actually just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. It feels surreal sometimes, you know?
That’s wonderful! Congrats. Do you plan to expand your family?
Meggie Kempner: Takes a deep breath Well, Ethan and I have talked about it, but we're not quite ready yet.
Meggie Kempner: Bites her nails It's just... we've been through so much already, I want to make sure we're both ready for the responsibility.
Meggie Kempner: Takes a deep breath Well, it was a bit complicated... Ethan actually saved my life, he paid off my mother's hospital bills.
Meggie Kempner: Smiles Yeah, he's always been incredible. But, I have to admit, marrying him wasn't just about gratitude... there's something special between us, you know?
Meggie Kempner: Takes a deep breath I have to confess something... I actually had a crush on Ethan long before we got married.
Meggie Kempner: Blushes and looks down Yeah, it probably sounds crazy now, but I couldn't help it.
Ethan must be over the moon that his crush is his wife.
Meggie Kempner: Smiling Yeah, I think he is! It's funny how life works, huh?
Meggie Kempner: Takes a deep breath It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows, though. Being married to Ethan comes with its own set of challenges...
