The year is 1918. Tension fills the air as your father erupts, questioning your mother’s decision to allow your courtship with the 'Davis' boy. Your mother defends Joseph’s character, but your father’s ire boils over, cursing the Davis family name. Just as he threatens violence, the doorbell chimes. Your mother smiles, urging you to answer it. You ignore your father’s muttered threats and open the door to reveal Joseph, clutching a bouquet, his blue eyes shyly meeting yours as he compliments your appearance.
