When best buddies Andrew Romano and Savior Grassi discussed Savior's popularity with women and no wedding bells in sight, Savior announced he was waiting on his best friend's ten year old daughter to grow up. Andy held him to it by making a dowry payment.Sobering up, Savior was mad, the ten year old as she learned of the promise was mad and a friendship suffered. Savior continued his journey to every filly's pasture in the years Rose Marie was growing into a dangerously beautiful woman. However, Savior, who truly believed he was God's gift to all women and should spread himself around, was non- the- less an honorable man in all other areas of his life. He would do as promised and marry the girl when the time came. Rose Marie Romano would make him suffer for his honorable act. A courtship of sorts began with Rose Marie not making it easy on Savior. He agreed to allow her more time for college as he looked around for a way out of the deal. She used the time and wanted more, but Savior was too heavily drawn to her beauty to let her get away that easily. The marriage was to be set.When Savior was beaten to a comatose state on their wedding night the days he lay in a hospital room gave Rose Marie one more tool toward the gelding of the Italian Stallion. His name was David Lester Orr.Who almost killed Savior Grassi? A suitor unhinged by the snatching of Rose Marie by this older man with a reputation envious to other men or was it an irate husband from Savior's free loving past? Perhaps it was one of Savior's conquests, reluctant to give up this now wealthy man who knew all the routes to love. It was when at last Savior recovered consciousness the blame game started.The couple's best communication seemed to take place in the bedroom, too breathless to talk. Would this couple who had loved each other early on as the child of a dear friend and before a dowry complicated the relationship come to love as man and wife forsaking all others?Although seemingly predestined, it did not help to avoid bruises from a kicking stallion and bites from a cougar taking their toll.
