Ralph Kenley and Leah Barrow are on a date, chaperonned by Sandra Kenley.
Leah: So, Ralph, we have to talk about something
Leah: You haven't been a member of churchims for very long and may not no a lot about my past.
Leah: Yes, my past, the things that happend when I was younger
Ralph: No, I haven't heard anything about that. What happend?
Leah: As a teenager I was very troubled and didn't want to listen to my parents. They wanted me to start courting and I just didn't want that.
Leah: I wanted to make music and not get married and start having children.
Ralph: You love making music, don't you?
Leah: Yeah, very much. So, together with a friend of mine, Belle, I run away from home, from this town.
Leah: Yes, we lived far away from here for a couple of years. I was making it as a musician and Belle was working to save for college.
Ralph: You made it as a musician?
Leah: Yes, I was very good and did concerts and taught music. One day we where discovered by the Landgraab's. Together with them I got back in touch with my parents.
Ralph: It must have been hard for them.
Leah: It really was, and I hated doing it but I had to do that and make it on my own. My parents fully accepted me as I was when I came back. Especially my mom was so glad I came back that she didn't care about all those years I was gone.
Ralph: A mothers love is very deep
Leah: Yes, indeed. Belle, my friend, didn't like it because she didn't want to have contact with her parents, Oliver and Dakota Rogers.
Ralph: Do they have another daughter?
Leah: Yes, that's Belle. So advancely I moved back into my parents home and broke all contact with Belle.
Ralph: So you don't know where she is either?
Leah: Well, I did at first. But then I slipped up, her parents figured it all out and wanted to get her back. I called her to warn her and she has escaped her parents visiting her house. I do have a little contact with her but I don't know where she is so I can't tell her parents.
Ralph: And do her parents know that?
Leah: That I still have a little contact with her? No, not at all. And I want to keep it that way.
Ralph: Thank you for telling your story, Leah.
Leah: You have to know that I don't want a marriage like my siblings. Getting pregnant all the time, having children back to back. Even if I have the same fertility as my mom, she still ended up with six children. I don't know if I want that.
Leah: No, I want to keep making music and have my own life.
Ralph: hmm, that's alright I think. My mom worked all my childhood and I didn't suffer from that. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to me that she wanted to stop.
Leah: Yeah, exactly. That's so weird. You and Raymond aren't young anymore. You can take care of yourself.
Leah: So, are you okay with something like NFP in marriage?
Ralph: Yes, certainly. If it's really God's will that we have children he will provide even if we use NFP.
Leah: I love how you worded that, Ralph
