Charles Squire had a brief affair with Lori Snow. She claimed she was pregnant and that he was the father of her baby. She wanted him to pay for her abortion. He did not believe her. He thought that she was trying to con him for money. He broke off with her. She was really pregnant. After the child was born, Lori contacted Charles to convince him that the child was his. She had already given the child to her best friend because she had three other children and no one to help her. After Charles saw the child, ’Florence’, he was convinced and wanted to help. A bond was formed between Charles and the child. Stacy Adams, who had adopted Florence, was afraid that if the relations continued, Charles would contest the adoption and take the child away. She could not have a child of her own. Stacy applied for a transfer to a branch office in California to get away from Charles. Stacy raised Florence as her own. Florence knew only her as her mother. Before the separation, Charles had given Florence a chain with a crucifix. This became a cherished memory of her father. Over the years, the image of her father was lost but the bond and wish for his return was always with her. As a grown woman she met Charles through the office where she worked, and they fell in love not knowing their relationship. This story revolves around the way they met this challenge and how Florence came to the realization that Stacy was not her birth mother.
