Upon our return home from the resort, Linda and I decided to look for a new house, closer to Natalie’s university, so she wouldn’t have to live in the dorms, and so that she and I could live fully as husband and daughter-wife, while she began her degree pursuit. Her scholarship included books, tuition, fees, room, and board, plus an additional monthly stipend for incidental expenses. By living at home, she would be able to keep the room and board money, and in theory could apply it to the cost of her off-campus housing and food expenses.

We told her that she wouldn’t have to pay anything for housing or living expenses. She was now my daughter-wife and I would take care of that for her. Linda told her she was her daughter and she would not ever allow her child to pay for anything school-related.
