Meredith is 21 or so and is waiting for David 22 to return home and marry her. When he does he has a fiance. Simon, her best friend's widowed older brother, was there and immediately claims that not 10 minutes ago Meredith had agreed to marry him. Thus Meredith is saved embarrassment. But Simon has an ulterior motive because of course he loves Meredith. He persuades her to marry him and be a mother to his 4 year old son. Their marriage does not run smoothly and their problems were much more realistic than in most modern HPs. They have some real stuff to overcome. It was well written and believable. Simon was not a dick but he did have some big issues and Meredith was not a doormat but stuck it out through some pretty tough stuff. Worth show more reading for HP fans. One minor quibble. At the end, oddly, 4 year old Benjy starts talking baby talk which he hadn't done previously. Totally irked me. But it was just a couple of lines so tolerable. show less
