Eighteen years vanished in the blink of an eye. The girls blossomed into stunning young women. Kate, the swimmer, who had traveled the country for competitions, had a line of admirers that snaked around the block.

A whirlwind romance of texts and cross-country flights culminated in a decision. They were getting married.
